<<OT>> Well, I'm in agreement with them on that 'Not revealing a woman's nose to sunlight' issue.
That strong Afghani sun would be hell on the skin.

you wrote "...As for surrender, I'd accept them all, that is part of The American Way. ..."

Unless you can convert these Islamic extremists to partnership in Western civilization, they are going to keep finding ways to attack you. And you aren't going to convert them, imho. If you accept their surrender, what do you do with them then? Whatever you do that lets them live, you can bet that some of the ones you spared will be back with a plan to spread smallpox or something.

Not killing them lets the victor wallow in pleasant feelings of magnanimousness while the weeds bearing the seeds of future 911s are left to recover in quiet corners.
--- Seek out, uproot & burn the weeds or you will have another plague of them in a short time.

jmho, of course.
