Well, if you were a woman in Afghanistan who was beaten because you showed a miniscule portion of skin, who used to have a dignified job as a teacher or a doctor, but because of the Taliban could no longer feed your family because you weren't allowed to work, or a man taken out and shot because you didn't want to join the Taliban army, I would think you may look forward to a change of government. This is not the government these people started out with!
It would be apparent that there is a conflict between what is heard on the radio from the Taliban(television is not permitted) and the food and medicinal relief clearly shown on the packages to be American. At some point you would begin to doubt the oppresive forces.
As an Afghan citizen I might wonder why a nation that allegedly was waging war against Islam would bother to feed it's enemy.
Beneith it all, I think I would be hoping that a familiar world would once again be opened to me once it was over!

Well, I was going to respond to Pangur's post, but I think you summed it up beautifully Liliara. Thanks!
