SAVAGES
The Taliban is just as brutal as Al Qaeda and it would be for the betterment of mankind as a whole if both were eradicated completely from the face of the Earth.
were afghans outraged?
Who could do that? It just boggles the mind. I couldn’t do that to a 7yr old cat, let alone a child.
I read somewhere that a Jewish prisoner in one of Hitler’s camps was praying and thanking G-d for blessing him. A fellow inmate asked him why he was thankful and he replied: “because I’m not like them. “(referring to the Nazis) Badly paraphrased.
I’m thankful I’m not like them either (the Taliban).
Why don’t we do more to understand these people? Why do they hate us? /s
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

How can anyone in the U.S. think that we can reason with “people” like that?

“Taleban hang 7-year-old boy to punish family”
Jerome Starkey, Kandahar
SNIPPET: “Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman for the provincial governor of Helmand, said that the killing happened days after the boy’s grandfather, Abdul Woodod Alokozai, spoke out against militants in their home village.
Mr Ahmadi said: “His grandfather is a tribal elder in the village and the village is under the control of the Taleban. His grandfather said some good things about the Government and he formed a small group of people to stand against the Taleban. That’s why the Taleban killed his grandson in revenge.”
The attack happened in Heratiyan, in Sangin, near where insurgents shot down an American Pave Hawk helicopter on Wednesday, killing all four crew.
The helicopter was swooping over the town to suppress attacks on a grounded air ambulance, which was picking up British casualties.
Shamsuddin Khan Faryie, an elder in Heratiyan, said that the boy, identified as the son of Abul Qudooz, was seized as he played in his garden. He was found hanged from a nearby tree.”
