"I think I already know enough about the iconoclastic, misogynist thugs known as the Taliban ...."
As opposed to the misogynist thugs known as the Northern Alliance/warlords. Explain how you relate the word iconoclastic to the Taliban.
Did you know Mr./Ms. Know-Enough-about-the-Taliban that the Taliban made boys grow beards as soon as it was possible, not just for the fundamental interpretations of Islam, but because the warloards would kidnap young boys for the child sex trade. The growth of beards would make younger boys look older. The child sex trade also abated somewhat under the Taliban but is now in full bloom once more ... much like the heron trade?
"The intentional destruction of the Bamiyan statues tells me all I need to know ...."
I wonder what Buddha would have thought about the destruction of the Bamiyan statues in one's quest for detachment. Whatta ya think?
"The public beatings of women informs me completely .... (or ANY beatings, for that matter) ..."
Ah ... you threw in that little caveat at the end. Do you think it is day and night from then and now with this horrible situation in Afghanistan?
"FUCK them .... I will not watch this ...."
We need more sentiments like yours in our quest for peace and cultural development. :sarcasm:
"If it werent for 911, the current administration would still be coddling them .... They are like minded brethren ..."
The Taliban didn't have anything to do with 911.
