  The Taliban were alarmed by Zawahiri's murder, and a month after the attack, they tried to pin Pakistani officials with responsibility.                                                                                                                             The Taliban are now unbalanced as a result of the murder of Aiymen Al Zawahiri in the center of Kabul. Or at least their defense minister, who struggles to accept the unpleasant truth and its dire repercussions for the fledgling Taliban government. The Taliban have pledged in the Doha Agreement not to harbor terrorists on Afghan soil, so Zawahiri's presence in a safe house in Kabul is a damning indictment of them. Mullah Yaqoob continues to dispute that Zawahiri was the guy targeted by a US Reaper in the Kabul complex for this precise reason.

Many refer to it as the gift of words. It could also be referred to as the curse of language, in some circles.   According to Neil deGrasse Tyson, if intelligent aliens from a distant planet ever come into contact with humanity, they would only be able to communicate via arithmetic and science. Words would be meaningless in this circumstance. Additionally, throughout human history, words have caused problems in the shape of wars, cultural misunderstandings, religious dogmas, racial and national hatreds, etc. Words and numbers differ significantly in one important way: only numbers are truthful.   That truism, however, is actually badly misunderstood. The reason is that, although words are capable of c
