ISLAMABAD-The Afghan Taliban on Wednesday called upon U.S. President-elect Barak Obama to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and usher in an "era of peace" in the world."We want him (Obama) to change the policies of President George W. Bush. He could end the years-long war by withdrawing U.S. and allied troops from Afghanistan, " Qari Mohammad Yusuf Ahmadi, spokesman for the Taliban, told the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic press.Ahmadi said an increase in troops in Afghanistan would not make any difference."Even if a soldier is tied to every stone in Afghanistan, the West would not be able to being a government of its choice in Afghanistan," an earlier report by the Taliban spokesman as U.S. election results were still coming in said.Barak Obama, in an indirect reference to terrorists, has said that the United States would defeat them."To those who tear the world down, we will defeat you," Obama said in his victory speech in Chicago.
