The Rebuild Now-NY program works with local communities to discuss economically feasible ways of cleaning up environmental hazards. Because Gabreski is located near farming and residential areas, the program will work to increase community involvement in airport development decisions. Now that it has secured $19 million in funding, the airport will receive state-of-the-art facilities for vehicle maintenance, a refueling vehicle shop, and a new vehicle operation shed. By consolidating the airport's training, operations, and dining services into a single facility, the new support complex will centralize the civil engineering offices, base supply, air traffic control, and disaster preparedness. "Whenever we watch a space shuttle rise into the sky," Senator Clinton said, "we should remember that people at Gabreski are working hard to make sure everything goes well. Senator Schumer and I will conlinue to work to provide the airport and its personnel with the resources they need." SBU Honors College

from those he helped, only demanding that they follow him to set up a just Islamic system." It was their 'version' of a 'just Islamic system' that would get them into trouble and bring their people into an increased state of turmoil. The problem is rooted in the fact that the Taliban come from the least developed, least educated, and most conservative area of Afghanistan. The leaders of Taliban, along with their grassroots members, are fairly ignorant of the complexitiesof Islamic law, and have confused Islamic law with their backwards tribal code, Pashtunwali In addition, by engaging in wholesale slaughter, preventing from female students and teachers from attending school and working, and by implementing bizarre laws upon the Muslim populace and driving some to renounce their faith, the regime continues to defy three of Islamic law's five 'mgqasid', or objectives: protection of life, faith, and intellect. Furthermore, the Taliban are ethnic Pashtuns, whom only make of 40% of the population. The other 60% include Hazaras, Uzbeks, Tajiks. They have imposed their tribal code and backwards way of life on a culturally diverse Afghanistan, a way of life alien to that of the other moderate and educated groups in the country - especially those in cities such as Herat and Kabul. Rashid goes into detail on the Taliban's realpolitik relationships with opium farmers, drug dealers, smuggling mafias, oil corporations, intelligence agencies, and of course, the infamous Osama bin Laden. He shows that the Taliban have not only caused much distress for their already brutalized population, but they have caused hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars of damage to the economies of Pakistan, and to a lesser extent, Iran. It is no wonder why the Taliban have few supporters today, as they truly epitomize the term 'pariah'. This is a story of a group of initial heroes turned oppressors. Sadly that is a reoccurring story in modern Afghanistan. The mujahiddeen, or freedom fighters, who defeated the Soviet invaders and now form the fabled 'Northern Alliance', raped and pillaged the nation during the civil war. The Taliban helped bring peace and security, and then, as a result of ignorance and the yearn for power, embodied the same evils that their predecessors had. The victims of this situation are the Afghan people - of whom, millions are refugees, and millions are on the brink of starvation. These people deserve better, and this book will hopefully inspire something in your heart to help bring these people out of this state of misery.
