      Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid also said the insurgents seek no revenge and insisted that everyone had been pardoned, even if they worked with the former government or with foreign forces. Many Afghans fear a return to brutal rule under the Taliban.http://apne.ws/b2rWGfD

          The saddest part is that the American media will believe this. If the Taliban actually meant that, they would've just joined society.

          The thing is that everyone likes to compare what happened to saigon, however now almost 50 years after that event, Vietnam is in quite good shape. Perhaps the current event will be a catalyst for something similar in Afghanistan.
