Surely there are other obscene policies of the Taleban
that should be reversed too, before UN recognition? 
Such as massive prostitution of women and removal
of nearly all of women's fundamental human rights?

Are chain letters an efficient use of internet
resources? I agree with the cause: but AFAIK (as far
as I know), the method is generally not welcomed
on the Net.

A much better method would be a web site which 
collects signatures. And how about other actions
which directly support grass-roots opposition
to the Taleban?
