What was the sense of freeing these people from the Taliban if they are going to be just as bad as the people they were freed from?

Freed? You must be joking. We traded Taliban Extra Strength for Taliban Lite. Douglas MacArthur is spinning in his grave at how we permitted medieval Sharia "law" to continue in a land we "liberated". What a bunch of pansies we have running this war. "Held to account" my ass...I cannot believe Bush is using the same expression he reserves for terrorists. Disgusting.

I blame the Afghani constitution on our illustrious [sic] State Department, led by Colin Powell. These idiots don't give a damn about liberty - just making nice-nice with demagogues.

"We traded Taliban Extra Strength for Taliban Lite."

Thanks, this is exactly what I wanted to say earlier, but I couldn't find the sources to draw from.

I remember reading the actual name of the Taliban leader responsible for this act of medieval act of barbarism.

What's disgusting is people who expect the President of the United States to go on a flaming, spleen venting rant as if he was posting messages to some stupid web site.
