I'll make one comment about the Taliban, because we keep looking at them as a great monolith. They're like any other political movement: they're off in all directions. When I first went there in 2001 and the Taliban was still the government, I was working with CARE Canada. I went to where we were having what you might call underground schools for little girls, who would come to a room and a woman teacher would come in. This was all supposed to be quiet.
But when I came away one time, a couple of Taliban men approached me. I could tell they were Taliban by the way they were dressed. One of them said to me, “We know what you're doing, but we won't say anything about it if you'll allow our daughters to go to school too.”
So there are people who are more than willing to talk.
