Somehow People Must Be Free.

AP Reports:

In areas cleared of the Taliban, Afghans began adjusting to life without the harsh rules imposed by the Islamic militia.

In Mazar-e-Sharif, men lined up at barber shops to have their Taliban-mandated beards shaved, and music - banned by the Taliban - could be heard from stores, the Afghan Islamic Press reported.

Opposition spokesman Ashraf Nadeem said about half the city's women had discarded the all-covering burqas required by the Taliban. Some retained traditional scarves covering their hair, while others went bareheaded, he said.
