        How many senior Taliban members are still alive from those days? The organisation persists, most of the leadership didn’t.

                  The leaders know their time is running out (especially Chamenei, which is an old man by now), and I sincerely believe that in his perspective it is much more favourable to go out on the prospect of being worshipped by his followers for a long time to come instead of doing a Saddam.
