Two must-read articles

[Dje]

Hi all,

I was searching around for more info about the afghan history and who exactly are the talibans to understand the current situation we are living, and i've found this very detailed article about the last 10-15 years history you should all read: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/taliban.html?lnhp
Also, I found a nice article that comments today's situation and the consequences of the US currently bombing Afghanistan. This one too is a must-read: http://www.visitinghistory.com/article1024.html

Those two articles helped me understand a lot more the current events, and I suggest to everyone to go ahead and read them...

thank you for those two url's. i knew some of what i read in the first, but it's good to see it in order.

i'm not sure if the second of the two is an article so much as an editorial, but it was interesting and it mirrored a lot of my thoughts.

not the two most popular perspectives, but it's always worth expanding your mind - even if you don't agree :)
