Taliban has not wasted any time in trying to capitalize on the weak leadership of President Joe Biden.   Kabul is now within striking distance   The election of Joe Biden was a great relief for Taliban  who could not challenge during the Presidency of Donald Trump.

Prior to Islamic domination, Buddhism was a major player in Afganistan.  Today the  Buddhism has vanished  in similar fashion to that of Indonesia.

Though  the Rajapakse Leadership in Sri Lanka has successfully defeated the world worst terrorists, the Tamil Tigers, the world super powers have failed miserably to defeat Taliban.

If Kabul is taken over by the terrorists, the terrorists worldwide, including Tamil Tigers, will raise its head, within a short period of time.  The Tamil Tigers are having close links with the Taliban Terrorists,  it will move its logistic operations to Afganistan on a broad basis, with the moral support of Taliban.

Taliban is no longer considered a terrorist organization by the United Nations Security Council.  It is now clear the UNSC has underestimated the strength of Taliban.

Regardless of strong criticisms against the former President Donald Trump, he has been able to keep the Terrorists in their places in Afganistan as well as in middle-east.

The Middle-East, Central Asia and South East Asia will be targeted by the terrorists, if Taliban successfully take over Afganistan.  Unfortunately, the President Joe Biden is notoriously slow in decision making, has so far not been able to create a positive impression on his Leadership and Negotiation Skills.
