| America's error over the Taliban , by Barbara Crossette |
| 2002-09-14 |
Revisionism is already kicking in on the events of the past year...There is much debate about whether war against Iraq is necessary. What is missing is a debate about whether the war against Al Qaeda had to be a war against the Taliban, fought on Afghanistan's already bloody soil.Read the entire article to discover how stoopid and ineffectual we are. If we'd just left things in the hands of the UN everything would have been all better. Where do they get these people? |

| #3 It's hard to conceive that a woman could write anything in defense of the Taliban, the most psychosexually sick regime of modern times. Islam itself is a horrifying form of mass institutionalized misogyny and on that grounds alone most be destroyed. Judaism and Christianity are pretty bad in their treatment of women, but Islam is beyond disgusting. |

| #2 Someone please send that stupid bitch a videotape of the Taliban executing burqa-clad women in the soccer stadium, shooting them in the back of the head for the "crime" of adultery. This sure has been a time of great clarification. Never before has it been so obvious who is stupid and who has a clue. |

| #1 The writer points out that the Taliban were difficult to deal with: Erick de Mul, a UN coordinator for humanitarian affairs during that period, spoke often of the need to negotiate painstakingly for something as simple as opening an office or the introduction of a badly needed health training program. She neglects mentioning that President Bush gave the Taliban a chance when he said that all they had to do was to hand over Binny and his boyz; the Taliban would not and did not. Heck, he gave them a chance, then he followed through. Kinda negate her whole point, no? |
