		The Taliban retreat from Bamiyan - a province where they practiced what local residents describe as a savage scorched-earth policy - turned out to be the early stages of the movement's collapse in the face of a massive U.S.-led bombing campaign that began Oct. 7.
		The presence of U.S. forces in Bamiyan is especially notable because of the strategic importance of the province: It is the homeland of Afghanistan's Shia Muslim minority, the Hazara, who have traditionally looked to their fellow Shias in neighboring Iran for support and guidance.
		As a result, Bamiyan looms as an important battleground in U.S. and United Nations efforts to prevent Afghanistan's neighbors, especially Iran and Pakistan, from exerting the same sort of destabilizing influence that steered the country into civil war during the early 1990s.
