Mir Tamim Ansary on Afghanistan This piece should be considered by our leaders. Don't forget that the citizens of Afghanistan are also victims of the Taliban and bin Laden. Tamim Ansary, ... "I speak as one who hates the Taliban and Osama Bin Laden. There is no doubt in my mind that these people were responsible for the atrocity in New York. I agree that something must be done about those monsters.

But the Taliban and Ben Laden are not Afghanistan. They're not even the government of Afghanistan. The Taliban are a cult of ignorant psychotics who took over Afghanistan in 1997. Bin Laden is a political criminal with a plan. When you think Taliban, think Nazis. When you think Bin Laden, think Hitler. And when you think "the people of Afghanistan" think "the Jews in the concentration camps."...(DaveNet)

Ryan's Photo Essay... An essay composed entirely of photos demonstrating the world wide anguish over the terrorist attacks. Photos of people offering support over what has happened from Canada to Palestine. From Germany to Israel.

A Response To The Terror... This sounds like the correct response to me. Now if the powers that be will only take this tack instead of using the terrorists as an excuse to take away OUR freedom and liberty.If you agree, then kindly forward the suggestion to your representatives in the U.S. government. Thank you Jerry for publishing the proposed letter to those who provide support to the terrorists.

From The President of the United States to the Council of Afghanistan,

You are known to be host to bin Laden. Within 24 hours you will deliver him and all those in his compound to the US Embassy in Khaboul. They will be bound and in chains. We expect at least 24 persons.

Dealing with the Palestinian authorities ought to be similar regarding accessories before and after the fact.
