Yvonne Ridley : "... They were bombing and decimating the population for reasons only known to the
USA and its
Allies. The poor Taliban had no idea why
America wished to invade Afghanistan. They had heard of this as a 'mishap' but had no idea of the enormity of the tragedy. They did not know of the complexity of the buildings and people jumping out of towers
100 stories high, as they did not have TV's nor did they know a tower when they were told about it..."
