We need to tell Colin Powell to shut up and stop saying that the "more moderate" Taliban can have a place in the post-war government. That is like saying the "more moderate" Nazis should have had a place in the post Hilter government. How can you tell a more moderate Taliban anyway? The Taliban need to pay for their crimes against the Afghan people, not be rewarded for being "moderate."

Powell has also blunder the explosive Pakistani and India situation by his support for the terrorist Muslim state, ruled by a military pretender. Pakistan has no intention of replacing the madrassas, those religious dens that teach young boys as young as the age to six to hate and kill Americans, with a system of sane public schooling. Powell also has bungled our relationship with democratic, pluralistic, secular India which often is a target of Islamic terrorists. Now he has botched the budding relationship with Putin and the new Russia by his moderation towards the abnominable Taliban.

It is also ridiculous to think that the former King, Zahir Shah is a practical solution to the divisions of Afghanistan since he is an old man who could die at any time, and isn't popular in his former country anyway.

And tell me why the Sheik Omar Rahman was allowed into our country when he was a known terrorists and had been put on trial twice by the Egyptians for the murder of President Sadat, whom was considered a betrayer of Islam? He was a known terror monger.
