This being the very first thread I can see about the Talibans war on life ...I only can tell you that ..
What is worth saving face is often ugly pride at its worst. Taking your own land marks and treasures by blowing them up is a total breach of your ancestrial backrounds. Promising this and that about delievering a fugitive you may never of had control of.. Many years in diplomatic dispute within and without. What do we get. Well now on both sides, we even get less. Saudi, didnt want the go down deal so our friends say. Where do you arrest such a man they contended?? Not in our country. Dig him out yourselves. 3 years of missed communication resulted in devestation. Political correctness as a thread would call it.
Why couldnt we put moneys twards waterways and land growths instead of war. Put it twards Jobs and food. Trees and fruits. Lets look at a time in Isreal where they transformed a valley into life (look it up for yourselves

) How much do you spend training fighters to take innocent life? You therefore comdemn your own selves and life itself within this course. Its an unholy concept to destroy your own culture. Do you think that the stone mountains carved themselves?
If you are busy doing the good things for your people life will ensue.
Peace my freinds.
