I felt almost relief when I saw the news.
I felt he was always a slippery eel, even back in probably his best time,
as head of the Afghan resistance party Jamiat-Islami.
He seemed EMPTY.
As though no one home there.
So I think he only deteriorated after that.
Just a figurehead, anyway. The Western press can clamor about
how important he was as "head of a Peace Council" -
but this is just one of those window-dressing organizations
to make the Kabul regime look like "a nice guy" which is actually
DOING SOMETHING about resolving the chaos.
It isn't.
