I have been patiently waiting for Comrade Proyect to write panegyrically of Mullah Omar's address as compared to President Obama's. Let's not forget that 70% of the civilians killed this year have been at the hands of the Taliban which compensates for lost elections with terrorist actions and that there is no way that the Taliban will be able to run a country the size of France without the support of the Saudis and the ISI and that will have geopolitical repercussions. Oppose the NATO mission, but please don't underestimate the difficulties of the situation. It wouldn't be a bad idea to read some of the pieces written by Ahmed Rashid and Pervez Hoodbyoy and elevate the level of discussion beyond the pathetic cries of betrayal and empty, non-specific charges of imperialism. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
