Can the Taliban ever be trusted?

Afer the nightmare come soothing words from the Taliban. Promising that there will be no revenge, that women can work and go to school and university and all government workers should stay in their posts and carry on as if nothing has happened. They will set up a new government if they know how to do it and turn the country into a strict Islamic state. Which means whatever women think they will be allowed to do if the Taliban think it doesn't conform to Islamic law, they will be barred. The Islamic thought police will be on the prowl. No wonder tens of thousands of Afghans are trying to leave the country. The only good thing is that the war is for the moment over. No sign as yet of the threatened civil war which everyone was talking about not so long ago.
