This is what bothers me about the Northern Alliance. Are they also not muslim? When we prevail, will they replace the taliban in Afghanistan? If they do, will they remain loyal to US interests? We thought the same thing when we supported the mujahadeen in their fight against the Soviets. Now, the Russians are our "allies."
I believe Aristotle said, "The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend." We need to keep this in mind. Ironically, one of Aristotle's most noted pupils was Alexander the Great, who happened to "visit" Afghanistan before.
To sum it up, I just don't expect the Northern Alliance to become our "good muslim" ally for a long period of time. We have all seen what islam is capable of becoming, and they are no exception.
This situation is why we have no business in thinking we can control the world. If this nation would have stuck to our own business instead of allowing the elites to run it we could care less about Afganistan. But since we are not allowed to be self sufficient we are surrounded by these problems. This won't go away either. After the oil pipeline who will maintain it? So this region will be divided up amongst the powers. And the perpitrators will be hated all the more. The breadbasket of terrorism is Iran. Do you think for one moment that we will do anything to that country?? Absolutly not. Ergo your so-called war is a farce. BTW I give GW credit on the way he is undertaking it with the least amount of "collateral damage" ie. your sons & daughters in combat.
