there's a very good article over on salon.com entitled "the taliban's bravest opponents" that tells about an underground resistance of afghan women. it includes an interview of one of the resistance members. an excerpt:

Are you concerned about a war with the United States?

We are condemning an attack of the U.S. on Afghanistan, because it won't be the Taliban but our people who will be the victims. The United States should decry these terrorist groups in Afghanistan; but not through an attack. Maybe through commando attacks, though. We do want the United Nations to be more active -- their rule is very important in this moment.
