Who is removing an indiginous people from their land? What people are being removed?

The Taliban exist in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

There is no getting back today what was squandered at Tora Bora. The West today cannot afford to abandon Afghanistan and leave it to the Talibs, warlords, and drug smugglers. I would suggest that you familiarize yourself with the mountainous regions and Helmand Province in Afghanistan, and the Northwest Frontier Province and the Peshawar area in Pakistan. This is precisely where the crux of the AQ/Taliban problem exists.
