the Taliban appear not to know how to react to the aerial bombardment

I dont get it... either they are playing stupid, or they are overrated. Didn't these people manage to survive 10 years of constant Soviet bombardment? Is this some ploy to lull us into a sense of overconfidence?

Separately, Newsday cited confidential U.N. documents in reporting yesterday that Taliban fighters and commanders committed systematic massacres in recent years while trying to consolidate control over northern and western Afghanistan.

The reports, written by U.N. personnel in Afghanistan, say such mass killings were ordered or approved by Omar. U.N. officials who investigated a series of massacres of at least 178 people in January in the Yakaolang district of north-central Afghanistan said they had found witnesses to radio conversations between Omar and the teams of Taliban soldiers conducting the killings.

WHAT -- no out cry from the U.N. when they had the documents in hand by their own U.N. personnel????

The U.N. is a hoax and Annan Kofi deserves the Nobel Peace Prize as much as Arafat and Hitler!

I heard on one of the news reports that they lost about 1 million people and killed about 15,000 Soviet troops in their victory over Soviet aggression. I don't know if I could handle many victories like that.
