    Looting is not good, but what about the crimes committed by the Taliban? They did a lot worse than steal.

    Is there any chance of hauling Taliban leaders before the criminal court in the Hague and prosecuting them for their crimes against Afghan women, children and ethnic minorities?

    Many peace activists are trying to portray the Taliban as some kind of Afghan cultural norm, but I think they're criminals and the world should prosecute their leaders for their crimes.

    I was interested and excited when I learned of the program with Jeremy Ben-Ami, Executive Director of J Street and David Harris the Executive Director of AJC. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm was soon negated by the manner in which Amanpour conducted the "interview". Firstly, it was clear to me that the questions directed towards Ben-Ami were open ended and allowed him to convey the information that he wanted to convey. By contrast, Amanpour's questions to Harris were at times "leading" and were intended or otherwise had the effect of putting him on the defensive. For those aware of the controversy surrounding J Street, the obvious questions to Ben-Ami would have included inquiries including the source of their funding and what their actual positions are on issues. It has been reported that J Street receives significant funding from Arab/Muslim sources which is certainly pertinent information in assessing their credibility and legitmacy as a "pro-Israel" lobby. Next time, a more balanced and more objective approach would be appreciated.

    I think it would be productive and helpfull to hear what does the Taliban think about what is going on in Afghanistan and their recommendation. Maybe a debate between the Taliban and the government. So far, we have only heard one side.

    See similarities between people and countries, some are ready to make change and others are not. If we were to examine countries in terms of what developmental milestones they had reached given their history and culture we might have so many judgmental views based only on our own perspectives.

    CNN thank you, Amanpour is providing excellence in journalism, we are watching her, respect her interviews and high caliber of reliable journalistic excellence. Reliable, thoughtful, discussions very important to us.

    Appreciatively, Heather

    Thanks for the tips about credit repair on this blog. Things i would advice people would be to give up the mentality that they'll buy right now and pay later. As a society all of us tend to do this for many things. This includes holidays, furniture, as well as items we want. However, you have to separate your own wants from all the needs. When you are working to improve your credit rating score you have to make some sacrifices. For example you are able to shop online to save money or you can turn to second hand shops instead of costly department stores with regard to clothing. https://zyprexaolanzapine.com/#
