[David Morris]

What is "Our" objective re. the Taliban?  And the statues?
a) To be freinds? to understand them and to dance with them?
b) Or to get them to follow our perogatives?

And:
What are "Our" tools to implement "Our" objectives?
a) Money (sex, power...)?
b) Psychodentia?

The Taliban must need understanding, but in the meantime they are destroying 
World history.  What did Buddha ever do to them?
