a typical dopie headed attempt to impose your feminist agenda.

What feminist agenda?

I object as strongly to the Taleban's moves toward publicly marking Hindus (you have 3 guesses about where that is leading, though one should suffice) as I do to their treatment of women. I object to their treatment of their own people. I don't propose that we invade them, but I would be perfectly supportive of maintaining their status as a pariah state, effectively closed to trade and any other form of civilized relations, until there is some evidence of progress.

I wouldn't say that the Taleban are violating some abstract moral code. I would say that their behaviour is offensive to me. In this I am, I admit, much like practically everybody else in the world; I am rather pleased to admit that, it is a positive comment on the state of the world.

You keep fussing over your notion that most Afghans support the Taleban. We don't know if this is true, and one wonders why, if Afghan women really want to be confined to their homes and deprived of education and health care, such violent punishments are required to convince them to accept their status. The claim is also irrelevant. If most German's had approved of the Nazi treatment of the Jews, would that have made it any less revolting?
