But what of the bombs that missed, the innocent dead, among them Hazaras too? Hussain Dad spread his arms wide: "How many more do you think the Taliban would have killed in this last year? Thousands! And they would still be killing now. I hardly went out then. If you saw a Talib coming down the street, you hid your face, you looked away. If you looked at them, they said, 'Who are you looking at?' and they beat you for nothing."

'Nuff Said.

Ping!

[Moby Grape]

Amen, and AMEN!!!! Take that Woody Harrelson, Barbara Streisand, Gore Vidal, Phil Donohue, Libertarian Party, democrats...and so on, and so on.

As I said on another thread - there is certainly room for improvement, much work still needs to be done - but we made the right choice. Another big thanks to our soldiers!

see also my earlier thread: An important place - Children's art shows the horrors of the Taliban, and how things have changed

[The Toad]

there was even a Taliban edict forbidding women's shoes from making a noise on the ground

And Osama says the US is tyrannical? Yeah, right.

The hated women in these sick Muslim cultures have to carry the "morality" for the psycho, filthy, lowlife, criminal men. Men can rape male children, kill their daughters, and feel they live in an ethical world if their "woman" is walking around in outrageous bondage gear. And that's what being covered head to toe is about.

A self respecting woman would have the decency to kill herself if she had to exhibit that much hatred for her own body. Or she would admit to being kinky. Sick.

For the Taliban, a wisp of woman's hair or an uncovered female foot represented an obscenity leading not just to adultery, pornography and the destruction of family, but to the fall of Islam itself.

ONCE AGAIN: President George W Bush has proved his brilliance. First of all, never forget .... We Are At War (Liberals hate to be reminded of this and in many cases are in severe denial). Second, CounterAttack - Hit the enemy and destroy their bases of support. Afghanistan ... followed by the Axis of Evil ... brilliant .... just brilliant!

psycho, filthy, lowlife, criminal men

That pretty well sums it up :)

[America's Resolve]

The Taliban destroyed it, let islam rebuild it. They want to reintroduce Sharia, let islam rebuild it! Why should the West do it?

And this has to be the stupidest line I've heard in a long time:

The west hobbles its women with toe-crushing shoes, Islam with burkas and chadors.

Ya know. Almost the same thing. We beat women literally to death if they don't wear high-heels!

Godspeed and God save us from Islam

They forgot to mention our women of porn, the Tali-Bunnies.

[Marauder]

It's obvious that it will take the passing of a few generations for these sick attitudes to die out.

[NYer]

We shouted with joy when the American planes came over this way.

And so it will be with Iraq.

[chance33_98]

Sniff, Sniff when I see photos like that I feel like asking Bush to raise my taxes and build some more.

Take that Woody Harrelson, Barbara Streisand, Gore Vidal, Phil Donohue, Libertarian Party, democrats

But they will not: modern liberalism is not a philosophy or an examined outlook at life: it is a state of mind that allows one to deny objective reality around him.

[Free State Four]

A bump for #7. Excellent observations. fsf

You are right, that the liberals will not learn the lesson...they do not think in terms of facts, only with emotions based upon stereotype template views of the world. They have never thought through anything. BUT, it is STILL great to hear Afghan people saying that it was GOOD that we liberated them from the Taliban...and it DOES make the naysayers look even more foolish.
