| #4 #3 I don't know... The Afghan Taliban don't exactly seem the bridge-to-peace types, either. If you can overlook the summary executions, stonings, blown-up girl's schools, honor killings, rape, suicide bombings in markets and mosques, and blowing up Bamiyan, they're perfect partners for peace, Infidel... |
