Subject: Re: Electronic tagging (the Taliban)

Hi Don,

I tend to agree. We could end up deposing the Taliban and eliminating one base for terrorism, but many more would stay in existence. This is an ideological war and you can never totally eliminate the opposition. I just think we have to make life as difficult as possible for them. To do that, I think the West has to forge new relationships with Islamic countries and try to understand Islam. It is heartening to hear the leaders of Islamic states condemning what happened, and I think we should build on that.

Perhaps we should also take the trouble to discover what Islam is all about, as I get the impresssion that many of our problems stem from a lack of understanding of their point of view. Even from an academic point of view, it might be interesting to look at what Islam is saying and to compare that with the Christian message.

Best wishes,

David A
