Samantha, did you or did you not look at the link I posted to the
Revolutionary Association of Women of Aghanistan or not?
http://www.rawa.org/

You'll note that they disagree with the tactics the US is undertaking
just as you do. They view *both* the US-backed Northern Alliance and
the Taliban as hated occupiers. But, they've lived under Shariya law,
and they've had enough of it. They understand that becoming an
apologist for Muslim fundamentalism is not the right way to criticize
the US. Now read their site, look at their photos of what Islamic
fundamentalists have done to their country, and then rethink your
uncompromising defense of these misogynistic primitive cave-dwelling
Talibastards.

The world is not black and white, Samantha. Just because we're
bastards doesn't mean the other side are the good guys. Whether or not
Bin Laden 'did it', whether or not the Taliban is culpable, they are a
mistake the CIA made and the people of the region have been suffering
because of. Now it's time to undo CIA's mistake and perhaps undo the
CIA afterward (I'm sure there will be too many entrenched interests
opposing *that* though I'd damn sure vote for it if the gov bothered
to ask me).

* I believe that the majority of the world's Muslims are good, *
* honorable people. If you are a Muslim and want to reassure me and *
* others that you are part of this good, honorable majority, all *
* you need to say are nine simple words: "I OPPOSE the Wahhabi cult *
* and its Jihad." *
