TALIBANS
By S.P. Attri (USA)

1. Taliban fury and rampage is a matter of anxiety and concern to most all of us. Taliban may very well spin out as a Frankenstein's Monster, which is now firmly locked in Afghanistan. This Monster Product was brought into existence by Pakistan (Dr. Frankenstein) who now wears the crown of its creation and enjoys the agony and ecstacy of its invention. The Talibans have been industriously indoctrinated by Paki Mullahs and Maulvies and Pakistan's ISI has invested a great deal of money into Taliban Establishment, to make them full-fledged, Quran-Coached, Mujahid Sipahis of Islam. Taliban's Murder Machine (Military) is out-fitted with US Weapons, which were consigned to them via Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, for the precise purpose of keeping the Russians out of Afghanistan during the Russo-Aghanistan hot war of a few years ago. That war is now ended but the land of Afghanistan and the US Weapons are still there and are firmly in the control and custody of the Talibans.

2. But as it comes to pass in all Frankenstein movies, this monster shortly or belatedly goes after its creator, Dr. Frankenstein (Pakistan in this case) who in utter bewilderment at his murky monster creation coming at him, vainly tries to order him back but to no avail.

3. What has gone un-noticed, in this frigid fear of the Talibans, is the Durand-Line, the so-called boundary line between Afghanistan and the NWFP province of Pakistan. Afghanistan has never accepted this Durand-Line as the boundary because it regards the Pushto-speaking people and their home-land (the NWFP province of Pakistan) as a part and portion of Afghanistan. Afghanistan has expressed this specific voice many times in the past.

Also under-played and under-reported is the doctrinal discord between the Sunni and the Shiite populations of Afghanistan and Pakistan, regarding Quran and the nature of Islam itself. This may appear to some like hair-splitting but a lot of blood has been shed over it in both Afghanistan and Pakistan. This is because the Sunnis regard the Shiites as ruled by the demoniac powers and consider it their duty to wrestle with those (the Shiites) whose ideas of Islam are different from theirs. The Shiites, in turn, regard the Sunnis as possessed by the Devil and consider it their devout divine duty to fight them. This horrid insanity many times reaches its peak and ghoulish demands are made in the customary horror classic of Islam.

4. Also odiously overlooked is the clear possibility that Taliban-style group of Moslems may actually take over the government of Pakistan. Taliban-style Mullahs and their loyal followers in swarms of crowds have been seen daily shouting deafening slogans in several Pakistani cities, clearly alluding to the possibility of Taliban-style bunch of people capturing the reins of government in Pakistan. The line may be drawn by the glorious replacement of Nawaz Shariff as the Prime Minister, on particular charges of tax evasion and his fabulous un-earned wealth, requiring clean-up action according to the untainted and pure rules of the Islamic Shariah. If that happens, the clean-up of Shiite Moslems from Pakistan, also is inevitably and undubitably bound to follow. Would Iran sit quiet and undisturbed if that happens to its kith and kin right across the border in neighboring Pakistan?

5. Then there are six Central Asian Republics that are horrified by the bestial barbarity of Taliban Islam and cannot be indifferent to the possibility of Taliban extension into their countries. Taliban-Afghanistan is also next door to the Chinese province of Sinkiang, where Moslems are in a majority and which has been plagued with badgering anti-Chinese protests and riots in the past. China cannot possibly view with a placid face, the distinct possibility of Taliban extension into its already-troubled province of Sinkiang. Russia is also more than concerned because of its proximity to the six Central Asian republics.

6. As things stack up now in and around the Taliban area, the military situation seems to be getting more and more complex as time marches on, and the outcome of this complexity is neither predictable nor certain. In fact, it is beginning to look more and more like the signs of Nostradamus's Prophesies. There may very well be important and material opportunities for India (a full discussion of these is beyond the scope of this message) provided India has the right type of government at the moment of time.

7. Regarding the US: The US, like the Agha Khans, are very good at "betting on the wrong horses." They react to the situation as it changes and unfolds itself but in reality do not have the slightest clue as to what is going on. Their operations and procedures are Reactive. Sitting in their rocking chairs, they muddle through the events disconcertedly as they evolve.
