Unsurprising. This woman is analogous to those pencil-necked hippy candyasses who agitate for anarchy.

I'm no anarchist, but I could think of a lot more fitting analogies for the Taliban. Such as Nazism and Communism.

The Taliban want to impose a totalitarian government with zero freedom for women and very limited freedom for men. I'd compare them to a repressive dictatorship long before the thought would occur to me that they're just like anarchists.

If anything, they probably do what they do with the belief that they're 'saving' society from anarchy.

Yep. I think it would be interesting to do a policy-by-policy comparison between the three.

Taliban means "Student" in arabic. This regime was founded by students whom lived in Pakastan and then moved back when the Russians left. They are your typical marxist intellectuals, but with a surprisingly crazy and skiewed view of life.

They remind me of the Khilmer Rouge and Pol Pot and what he did to Cambodia. SAD.
