<<<I am with Gandhi also. In this picture, the punishment was done by another Muslim, and I prefer to give benefit of any doubt to the NA Afghan, and some Afghans do have sense of justice and what is the just punishment corresponding to the crime. I recall pictures of atrocities in Vietnam, Hiroshima/Nagasaki, and Auschwitz and Treblinka. Those are YIKESSSS!!! >>>

I guess I am not idealistic enough to ask for a bloodless revolution. It is impractical to dream of that.....but I am not bloodthirsty enough to want to kill either. I think we all need to move on. The world, the US, the Aghans, the jehadis...everyone. And believe me, I have reasons to hate the Taliban, reasons to want revenge due to personal experiences with Talibans and jehadis....

<<<Deny him from his virgins waiting in heaven? How cruel!
...
That's worse option. No citizenship, no identity, no family, but back to the world of jehadis?>>>

Well, they can dream of the virgins, can't they ? <smile> And a few years in limboland will do them good....trust me on that...

<<<Not so, not in the heat of a battle. Not just after a battle when friends and relatives had died. Not even us Americans are immune from being humans. Afghans are humans too, but much more hardened by a generation of miseries and hardships. >>>

Unfortunately so. But thats where the law and order comes in. Thats where world aid can provide a healing touch. It may not only help them feed themselves, but also help give up their past and look forward to a peaceful future for their kids....which may bring some relief to those anguished souls.

It is very important that NA be part of a broad based govt there. Left alone to its misery, i believe the country has the potentials of creating many more Bin Ladins......
