"It is neither in our interests nor is it moral to gratuitously attack Afghan civilians." There will be few civilians (except perhaps young children) in Afganistan shortly. They will either side with the taliban, or with the northern alliance. The choice will be theirs to make. Excellent post, thanks.

You may be right about that. We'll see.

Although I doubt the Taliban could bring themselves to arm their women, even in a dire emergency.
