We terrify the mullahs because we have written medieval superstition out of our public lives, and we have flourished doing it. Our fundamentalist warriors are reduced to spasmodic bible-beating in the dessicated corners of Internet message boards, their leaders to barfing hysterical inanities on trailer trash TV. They are devoid of influence, fossilized relics of another age. The mullahs know how seductive our message is, and how easily and quickly they could be reduced to that same level.
You know , when my father was stationed in Leyte in the Phillipines towards the end WWII , there were still die-hard Japonese soldiers they had to capture and get down out of the hills ...and convince them hostilities were
now at an end .
Funny thing ...someone had procurred an Ice-cream machine
thru a bribe of a case of beer from some supply sargent ,
and when they would capture these soldiers they would
tell them the "great War" was over ...and give them
an ice cream cone to eat . <G>
For the cost of one bombing raid now , after the Taliban
and Has'n Bin Laid is neutralized , we could build
one large community swimming pool in Kabul , and an
equivelent recreation center ...perhaps a large Ice
Skating Rink where even the girls could go...maybe some
skateboarding facilities for the male youth where they
could trade in their AK47's for skateboards , and learn to
do fly-moves on skatboards for the glory
of Allah.<GG>
Skateboards are cheap....all they need is a smooth surface.
Maybe even help the Afghans set up a small Olympic team
eventually , and see sublimated that warrior spirit into
sport-competition....give their men and women a chance to
co-mingle with other dedicated atheletes and other great
young people from around the world .
The Turks do quite well in wrestling , and are ferocious
competitors ...also in weightlifting .Something , anything
to pull these people out of the dark caves their
puritanical fascist ignorant Mud~yas have
condemned them too.
Maybe even build them a Foster's Freeze or Baskin Robbins
or two, LOL!
All human primates love ice-cream...I would imagine Allah
does to.

PS: Of course all this after they have their basic
infrastructures , houses and hospitals restored , some schools and
places of worship too . But the look on those Japonese
soldier's faces when they were given those ice~cream
cones , back on the island of Leyte 55 yrs ago....and
they were told the great War was over ....
My father has never forgotten... |
