The price of burqas is rocketing, page-32

"anyway you look at it Taliban are not progressive or for communism which they fought against with the USA capitalists in the 80's"


I wouldn't jump to a conclusion that they are anti communism - because they fought against Russia

they also fought against America - capitalist democracy ----------


so, they may well have just fought against invaders - no matter who they were.


as to that they are not progressive ------------- well, yes, that could strongly be argued

but, there might be some smoke signals that indicate a shift there -

and, with a people who are so apparently strongly non progressive but, have rock solid beliefs --

all that might be needed is to tweak those beliefs and they become fanatically progressive



humans have that capacity to do a hard 180 --- best friends become worst enemies and worst enemies become best friends


I would wait to let a few years of history pass under the bridge before putting out high bet predictions here this time
