The Taliban is yelling Holy War for Allah, yet they can't even feed their own people. Perhaps the refugees are smarter than their leaders. Religion doesn't feed a widow and her 5 young children.

Actually, according to <a href="http://www.iranian.com/Opinion/2001/June/Afghan/index.html">
this article</a>, religion does feed children.

Most of the populus is dirt poor, and the only way to feed themselves is to either join the military or enlist with the Taliban. Want a bowl of hot soup and some bread? Suuuure...just sit right here and listen to our religous rhetoric.
