"Our efforts so far have been to separate and distinguish between local Taliban and the foreign terrorists."

A bloodthirsty battle cry has gone out to advancing Northern Alliance soldiers.

They have been told by their commanders to kill 6000 foreigners fighting for the Taliban, even if they want to surrender.

As a fierce struggle continued for the strategic town of Kunduz in northern Afghanistan, a senior Alliance leader signalled Afghan members of the Taliban could be spared, but the contingents of Chechen, Arab, Pakistani and Chinese volunteers would be shown no mercy.

General Mohammad Khaksar said he had given "explicit orders" to his men to shoot all Taliban-aligned foreigners.

The move follows a series of kamikaze attacks in which Chechen Taliban fighters strapped explosives to their bodies, walked towards Alliance lines as if to surrender, then detonated the bombs.

But the uncompromising Alliance policy will fuel fears they are no better than the brutal fundamentalists they replace.

Whoever wrote this is probably walking around with the delusion that since he/she ‘visited’ a war-torn country, he/she now understands what it’s like to live in a war-torn country. To grow up in a war-torn country. To know you have to spend the rest of your life in a war-torn country.

Now, if only he/she could pretend that the people he/she has met who have died in this war-torn country were her relatives and loved ones.

I find the tact used by the Northern Alliance against these invading terrorists to be completely justified,
