Message 18466327 I'm still waiting for your condemnation of the Taliban. Remember all the discussion about what pigs they were before 9/11? So they turned into heroes in your mind because they killed 3,000 Americans? The place was under US control, remember? It was? According to your buddy Toilet Paper, it still isn't. So which is it? I don't know. Do you? What war crimes do you believe they committed? I thought you'd never ask. csmonitor.com crimesofwar.org Dadaullah was in command of Taliban forces in June 2001 that burned down thousands of homes and shops in Yakaolang district, in the mainly Shi'a Muslim Hazarajat region, before retreating toward Bamiyan district. Daduallah's forces continued their scorched earth policy as they moved west, destroying homes, markets, and mosques in the western part of Bamiyan district. Most of the civilian population in western Bamiyan fled the Taliban advance, but those who remained behind, as well as some who had encamped in the hills, were summarily executed, according to witnesses interviewed by Human Rights Watch in August. ahrchk.net Want me to keep going? There's plenty more. OK. So stuffing those Taliban into boxcars was a war crime. Now what? What's your solution? Do we bomb the place back into the stone age again?
