#1 it's useful when the small-brained rustics actually put their positions to paper, so you can remember exactly why they were so despicable when they were in charge. This oughtta remind those who wish to reintegrate the Taliban back into Afghan society why it was such a f*ckup in the first place.

#5 This document should be used in comparison whenever the argument is made that America should help Karzai's governemnt because there constistitution establishes an Islamic state. There are Islamic states and there are Islamic states.

#6 "un-Islamic thought" would be banned

The word "delusional" springs to mind.

It offers the Taliban's support for the United Nations and upholds human rights - "until it is contrary with the teachings of Islam".

Which is essentially from the get-go.

Mr Browne said on Monday that: "In Afghanistan, at some stage, the Taliban will need to be involved in the peace process because they are not going away any more than I suspect Hamas are going away from Palestine."

I suspect thatin the name of job securityMr. Browne does not want Hamas or the Taliban to go away. This, despite the fact that peace will only come once every last participant in Hamas and Taliban is stone cold dead. Browne seeks to legitimize their existance rather than summon up the courage to demand their eradication. Such moral flaccidity amounts to nothing more than tacit acceptance of jihad, genocide and anti-Semitism.

But one of the 110 articles of the Taliban's constitution, which is bound as a 10 chapter booklet adorned with the Taliban insignia, stipulates that all other constitutions are void. President Karzai and the United Nations have stipulated that a key condition for peace talks is that the Taliban must accept the constitution that was signed by Mr Karzai in 2004.

Thus obviating any need or use for "peace talks". What's more, there can be no such thing as "peace talks" with jihadists as the concept simply does not apply. Pandering to these barbaric psychos only increases their prestige and credibility within Afghan society thereby prolonging the misery that will continue until every last one of these savages are hunted down and killed.

Karzai is very much like Musharraf in how he, too, is running with the foxes and hunting with the hounds. The fact that Afghanistan once again possesses a constitution perverted by shari'a law represents a fundamental failure in our application of military force against the Islamic world. It is by dint of this exact mistake that the Taliban retain even a shred of respectability. Treating with these killers as any sort of honorable combatants is a recipe for disaster. As a Muslim, Karzai knows this better than anyone and by doing so becomes a traitor to his people and the enemy of all civilized nations.
