#3 When the Taliwhackers look at the new government and think it is "Islamic" enough, I worry.

After they wanted to kill that poor dude who converted a couple of months ago, I started wondering. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

#5 Afghanis have a looooong history of siding with whoever is the strong horse at the moment. I'm sure that at this moment, Mullah Ibrahim most sincerely sides with the Canadians, as previously he most sincerely sided with the Taliban. If the ISI should come to look stronger in his neighborhood, he will equally strongly side with them then. Much the same for the "Islamic enough" idea. This gentleman falls under the "Welcome, but verify daily" heading -- no doubt it's a large category in that part of the world.

#7 I've said before, the culture is a very practical one. They respect, understand, and aspire to power for the most part. Everything else is window dressing.
