#1 The Talibs and the Hezbis make much of their heroism in fighting against the Sovs, and their compatriots supported their efforts then - the Hezbis who were in the field, anyway. The Talibs were safe in their madrassahs. But now they've turned to blowing up their compatriots because they can't have their way.

Note that the tactics are the same ones used in Kashmir. I don't think the Paks have the imagination to do anything differently in Afghanistan, and I think we'll eventually find out it's the same people who're making life hell in Kashmir who're trying to keep it hell in Afghanistan.

#3 I wonder if Indymedia will orchestrate large protests against these killers of innocent civilians?
