I am so sickened by what I'm seeing about afghanistan no human being on earth should be comfortable with the knowledge of how horrific these people are to even their own kind. Even Hilter wasn't this bad.....I am very troubled that Saudia Arabia is publically saying we can't use our bases there. Oil, F'that...US, Canada, Mexico have plenty of oil...WE don't need to support any more of these countries who can sit back and allow what's happening in the world....time for sacrifices to be made! I fear Judgement Day is drawing close.....Desolation will be their reward

< CNN is running a great documentary on the Taliban....One interview of children asked: How many parents killed by the taliban....7 of 10 raised their hands....chilling!> I wished if these children were asked how many of them have been raped by these RELIGIOUS leaders, I were sure that most of them would have raised hands. Most of these schools where these people run the schools, child abuse is rampant. Anal sex with young boy children is very much a part and parcel of madarseh culture. On 28th Aug when I wrote that article on ‘Apathy’ and I mentioned about the ‘Schools’ run under Talebans and their mentors, I had this abuse in my mind, someone who is murdered is subject to pain once but someone who is raped at a young age of 12 by his teacher is murdered every day. CNN will never talk about it and Afghan child will never talk about abuse of his honor. Long held traditions of our region hold these dirty secrets deep, not only ideological deformities are inflicted but scars of physical unhealthy relationships lead to masculine dominated societies where role of woman as ‘mother’ ‘sister’ is forgotten. Two warlords fought a bloody tank battle on a dispute over ownership of a small boy, this is a well known documented story of sad saga of Afghanistan, this lost region has so many deformities that biggest of bigots and criminals can easily find safe haven in land that allows medieval practices in name of religious Puritanism.
