 RB>>> Taliban? Read the newspapers.
 RW>> Again I ask: where is their strength?

 RB> Mainly in southern Afghanistan, but apparently even in Kabul.

No Bob, they don't have a presence in southern Afghanistan, they're hiding
out in the northern mountains, bordering on Pakistan. The elected
President of a free Afghanistan resides in Kabul. Living in Germany you
should be familiar with the Bonn Convention of 2004 that set up that
government.

 RB>>> Now there's talk that Bush wants to send more troops to Afghanistan
 RB>>> to combat rising Taliban activity. Bin Laden and al Quaida?

 RW>> To keep that faction locked up in the Afghan mountains. Where is
 RW>> their strength, say in Iraq?

Because I don't want you to think I'm misleading you, whilet also pointing
out your errors. I guess you don't like to squirm if that's all you can
complain about.

 RB>>> Maybe you haven't heard of the Madrid and London attacks.

 RW>> I haven't heard that Osama or any of his Taliban friends were there.

 RB> Really? I didn't realize the American media were so poor reporting
 RB> the news. Better try the NY Times or the Washington Post.

Nahhh, I don't read that liberal bullshit. Most of what both of those
papers publish is far left or made up...it's no wonder they're losing
circulation. Most hardliners, save for you, have given them up.

 RB>>> And if they are finished, why do so many in the States and
 RB>>> elsewhere react with total panic at the mere names?

 RW>> They do? That's news to me.

 RB> Gee, you _are_ isolated...

Ummmm, no Bob, you're the one who's isolated from the US...I don't live in
far off lands seperated by an ocean, I actually live right here in the
good ole USA. If there was any panic over those names you mentioned, I'd
witness it first hand. There is no panic over them.

 RB>>> Why do foreigners get treated like criminals when the enter the
 RB>>> States

 RW>> We dont' want you criminals here.

 RB> Thanks, 'nuff said. You would have been mainstream in 1916, Roy. Such
 RB> a pity that "splendid isolationism" isn't practically possible in the
 RB> modern world.

Keeping out the riff-raff isn't isolationism. It's protecting the
homeland. One that you abandened 40 years ago. Your loss, our gain.
