are you Afghani?

No. Completely irrelevant, of course.

So why is it you're so heated about one incident during a war

I am not heated. This was the topic of conversation and I gave my view on it - it is inhuman to transport people like sardines with no air, and causing their deaths.

.. but you haven't said ONE WORD about the YEARS of murder and repression on the part of the Taliban?

Actually I have. When it was the subject of conversation.

However, one is no excuse for the other.

We are the more civilized ones, remember?

Come on, sonny, it's easy enough to get info about what the Taliban did.

I am a woman and hence not a "sonny". Even if I were, I would not be your sonny.

re "it's easy enough to get info about what the Taliban did. "

Any idea what they did with the $43 million Bush gave them a few months before 9/11?
