anti-war movements

[pms]

A friend of mine - who is no fan of the bombing - had a long chat
with an Afghan living in NYC the other day. His wife and kids are
still in Kabul, along with the rest of his family. She asked him what
he thought of the bombing. He said he supported it. She asked him
about civilian casualties. He said that people are dying every day in
Afghanistan, and if the U.S. campaign brought down the Taliban, the
civilian deaths would be worth it. That makes me very queasy, but
that's what he said.

I'd love to hear what he thinks of the US hand in creating the source of the
Taliban and how US policy has supported right-wing religious fundementalism
directly and indirectly in so many ways.  For the sake of the Afghans, I
hope they get a better guvmint out of this.  And a huge economic boost from
the pipeline.  They've certainly earned that.
