Taliban raise a storm in Kandahar

As the United States admits, the Taliban "can raise a lot of dust at any given moment", as they are doing now in Afghanistan's southern province of Kandahar, drawing a massed response from North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Afghan army forces. More than dust is being raised, though. Kandahar is just one aspect of the Taliban's military and political plan, which they hope will bring on a sandstorm. - Syed Saleem Shahzad (Jun 19, '08)
