| Taliban Threatens to Kill Afghans Who Vote -- Especially Women Who Vote |
| 2004-04-25 |
| Taliban insurgents have threatened to kill Afghans if they vote in September elections .... The threats were carried in pamphlets distributed in Logar province close to the capital Kabul .... "We advise all Afghans not to risk their lives for attending the elections," the pamphlets warned. "Women especially will face the death penalty if they try to take part in the elections. Husbands are responsible for the blood of their wives if they fail to stop them voting in elections." .... |

| #3 So, all these people can vote as soon as they kill the Taliban. I guess that OK as long as you don't require a Taliban ear as a poll tax or anything. Besides so bozo will go out and kill 300 Taliban just so that he can stuff the ballot box and elect his cousin to the office of local magistrate. |

| #2 Well, f*ck, b*tch ... there's only one way to find out -- drive into the nearby US Army ambush as the womenfolk point and laugh, eh? (Sorry if that made no sense :( ) |

| #1 Interesting campaign add. Do as we say or we'll kill you. Very simple. See, peace is there just do what we say. Time to arm the wimmin. They know who the bad guys are. |
