I recently heard a bit about the "Northern Alliance" who would seem to be poised to reap the immediate benefits of any destabilisation of the Taliban regime.

It seems that the last time they were in control of Kabul the spent most of the time in looting and internecine disputes. According to some reports up to 50000 citizens of Kabul died in the crossfire and the Taliban were welcomed as liberators by the civilian population.

"If you sup with the devil, use a long spoon........." would seem to be a good philosophy here.
