NP Echoing Taliban propaganda

'From behind the burqua'

http://www.smh.com.au/news/0110/21/world/world14.html

This week I listen to the bombs falling on the airport and military command
just a few miles away and though we are scared by the bangs which shake our
flat, we believe they will not hurt us and we come out and watch the flashes
in the sky and we pray this will be an end to our suffering.

I hope this [letter] will help you outside to understand the feelings of an
educated Afghan female who must now live under a burqa.

Many people have left but my family is staying, praying for change. The
market is still working - we Kabulis are tough - and there is food in the
market, but we have stocked up in case it runs out. Already there is no oil.

The Taliban say this is a war on Afghanistan. Some of our friends say we
must now support the Taliban against the outside, but how can we support
those who lock us away? We listen secretly to the BBC and hope that Mr Bush
and Mr Blair mean what they say.
