- Taliban: The True Story of the World's Most Feared Fighting Force by James Fergusson | Books review
This portrait of the Taliban is convincing – but rather dullOne of the few subjects which unite left and right in the west is dislike of the Taliban. The former abhors their abuse of women and contempt for human rights; the latter their hatred for America and Israel. So the notion that the governments now waging war against them should instead negotiate with them has, at least until recently, met with little favour in any western political quarter. James Fergusson, a British journalist who has been covering Afghanistan for 14 years, believes that dealing with the Taliban is in the interests of both foreigners and Afghans. His argument, woven through a book which describes the rise, fall and rise of a bunch of Pashtun guerrillas who have pinned down the armed forces of the world's great powers in an unwinnable war, comes in two parts: that the Taliban are not as bad as westerners think, and that they are too important to be ignored.On the first part, he points out that at first the Taliban improved life for Afghans. They (the word is a plural, denoting seekers after knowledge) emerged from the chaos that followed the Soviet withdrawal, when competing groups of mujahideen blew Kabul to pieces, warlords sliced the countryside up into fiefdoms and bandits set up roadblocks to extort money from travellers. With their swift enforcement of tribal law and their brutal sharia punishments, the Taliban were, initially, welcomed by their fellow Pashtuns.But the chaos of civil war was swiftly replaced by a horrible new order. The Taliban stopped girls from going to school and women from leaving their houses without their husbands, executed criminals in front of crowds, sawed off the hands of thieves, forbade people from using computers, listening to music or watching TV, and destroy ではなく、左と団結権西のタリバンの嫌いですいくつかの科目のdullOne - タリバンのこの肖像画は説得力があります
