Right, Kofe? Or have you told President Bush about who at the UN had these calendars?
These are men and women whose little children hoped against hope for days that their Mommy or Daddy would come home soon, and never did.
I want to present this picture to everyone who calls for "peace."
"If this was known, why did the UN Security Council fail to approve a resolution authorizing the use of force by the United States?"Because the UN supports terrorism and slavery.
Because the UN is composed of dozens of nations, all of which define "terrorism" and "human rights" by differing standards.
All of this was known about the Taliban for years. Nobody who was paying any attention at all considered them anything other than pure scum.

The whole situation is viciously complicated. Until we were forced into action by Sept. 11, America didn't really want to get too involved, either.
