ORWELLIAN / PANOPTICON POLICE STATE: USA & FREEDOM FROM THIS AT LAST IN THE MIDDLE EAST

It is time again for the annual “state of the union” message for the Taliban, which is Mullah Mohammad Omar’s Eid al-Fitr address, or, as it is otherwise known, “Message of Felicitation of Amir-ul-Momineen (May Allah protect him) on the Occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.” With the US set for a complete pull out of Afghanistan in 2014, and the world’s attention at the moment focused on the closure of US embassies throughout the Middle East and North Africa (which I have noticed now sometimes are referred to by the acronym “MENA”) due to an al Qaeda threat, Mullah Mohammed Omar’s annual statement did not have a very high profile this year, but I find it instructive to review these statements carefully for signs of development in the Taliban’s position, their own self-assessment, and the Taliban view on Afghanistan, which they call the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
