One of the excellent MSM pieces, by the Globe and Mail, was “talking with the taliban.”
It puts to the lie this grand narrative that they are plotting world domination or they are listening to “big brother.” Heck most couldn’t even identify Canada as part of the this grand narrative. They just want the “occupiers” out.
It is just more ethnocentric bull by refracting our beliefs and narratives onto the “other.”

thanks for posting this.
