Indeed. More on the Taliban dialog treating bin Laden...
And again I ask: why are you so eager to uncritically proclaim Taliban's virtues and good-faith motives...? Why is it that America acts selfishly, corruptly, and is evil, while everyone else (except any Western European country, of course, which is equally selfish, corrupt, and evil) acts friendly, peacefully, and indeed innocently...?

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- The Taliban's top military commander said his forces have assembled a hundreds-strong army of suicide attackers poised for a spring offensive against NATO troops in Afghanistan.
In a rare interview with Britain's Channel Four, Mullah Dadullah -- the man in charge of day-to-day military operations for the hardline Islamic militia -- also claimed he had a regular line of communication with Osama bin Laden...
"We exchange messages with each other to share plans," the Taliban commander said of bin Laden "We actually meet very rarely -- just for important consultations. It's hard for anyone to meet bin Laden himself now, but we know he's still alive."
"His comrades stand shoulder to shoulder with us," Dadullah said, referring to al Qaeda fighters. "We also go to the battlefield together."
The Taliban harbored bin Laden and al Qaeda in the days after the September 11, 2001 attacks against the United States and refused to turn him over to Washington, prompting an invasion that wrested their control of Kabul.
Dadullah said the Taliban did not regret standing by al Qaeda.
"For the Taliban, Islam is more important than anything else," he said. "It's our religious duty to shelter any Muslim brother who's on the run from the infidels, even at the cost of our government." |

There Is No 'War on Terror'
Yes, there is. And it targets people you admire. |

Bush didn't start the "War on Terror." It was arguably begun by either Carter or Reagan.
The choice between the two is a matter of details. |
Apparently you missed post number 5 in this string.
The "War on Terror" was started by Bin laden in his declaration of war against all Americans, and non-muslims.

I would suggest renaming the war on terror. Bush's original idea was pretty good. How about a Crusade Against Islamic Idiocy.

| I hear Afghanistan is exporting a lot more heroin since The War on Terror crossed its borders. Perhaps The War on Terror will have a bit of explaining to do to The War on Drugs. |
