Harmony and Disharmony:
Doc ID: AFGP-2002-602181 Synopsis: This document is a response to issues raised in a previous correspondence. It appears to be addressed to Al-Sahal Al-Mumtan’, but this could be the author’s name. The author is analyzing the impact of the destruction of the Buddha statues, the fall of the Taliban regime, and speculates on future U.S. steps in the Middle East. Key Themes: The author concurs with his correspondent in stating a low opinion of the Taliban. The Taliban has a “mentality based on fabrications, wrongdoing, beating around the bush and running away from reality.” The destruction of the Buddhas is judged insignificant in comparison to the desire of some Taliban to gain respectability by taking a seat in the United Nations. The author disagrees concerning Iranian leadership of the Islamic movement. He asks: “How can it fulfill the leadership role when it is incapable of guiding the Islamic insurgency?” He encourages Iran to attack Israel, and speculates that the U.S. is planning to attack Iran to protect Israel. The final paragraph expresses a change in tone with admiration expressed for the Taliban for destroying the Buddhas and protecting Osama bin Laden.
