When you say "people over there" I assume you mean the ones that the Daily Mail tell you that you that you agree with? Because the Taliban are "people over there" and they *absolutely* just want to get on with their lives.

how do you know for whom they are looking? Or even if they are looking at all? Because you read it in the Daily Mail? FFS.
>> There are reports of ex police men and women already executed.
Ohhh, there are reports. I see. So, all sewn up and done then.
>> And there are people here wishing them (the Taliban) well FFS and I wonder if
>> they would like to see them here?
I would imagine that the people wishing the Taliban well would love to see them here. Why wouldn't they?
i haven't been in Afghanistan since I was a feckless youth, and even then I paid little attention since I was mostly following a cute Australian hippy and it has in any case changed. I do remember it being a strange company with much underlying conflict.
If only I had known it was as simple as the Daily Mail have explained. All one has to do is revile and refuse to listen to anybody who says anything other than the Taliban should be shot.
Afghanistan does not wish to live as the US told them to, as the Russians told them to or indeed as the British told them to. Why do you believe that they should?
Of course, if a majority of the people wish something then that should be paid attention to. If there is mass genocide then that should be paid attention to. etc. etc. But right now the Taliban would seem to be mostly guilty of what the Daily Mail thinks that they are going to do and so far they haven't done it.
Yet, if I am not mistaken, you don't like people being arrested on suspicion of what they might do.
Now, please don't get me wrong, I am not justifying the Taliban. What I do know is that I don't know and that hell will freeze over before the Daily Mail is all the evidence I need.
Afghanistan is not good vs. evil or black vs. white. It is some Afghanis against some other Afghanis with the BBC and the Daily Mail making money out of both as the various politicians of the world do the same.
The world is a different place, and Afghanistan is a very different place, since the first time that some religious country bumpkins with Toyotas and Russian guns started tromping all over the place.
Not saying it is going to be good, but lets see. Of course, if you disagree with what is going on then you could go off and join the righteous fight, but that hasn't worked out so well for Shamima Begum.
