[Michael Dawson]

As to your point #1, how would it look if the U.S. simultaneously ceased all
aid to Israel?  Pretty fuckin' efficacious, no?

Fuck Israel.

1. Even a multilateral force or the UN led one would be seen as an
instrument of US imperialism and condemned for imposing its will on Afghans
ruled by Taliban.

2. Taliban government was recognised by only three governments, Saudi
Arabia, Pakistan and United Arab Emirates. No other country recognised it as
the official Afghan government. Afghanistan was represented in the UN by the
Rabbani government in exile. How does the UN or any multilateral entity can
deal with the Taliban government in Kabul without an armed invasion?

Apologies for overposting.
