I haven't heard the Taliban is having much success at controlling anything in Afghanistan. The Afghan government, admittedly such as it is, isn't giving up without a fight and neither are the international forces there. This leaves the Taliban with pressing problems of survival that don't leave much available for the problems of control -- which are large in Afghanistan in any case, as a particularly ornery independence of mindset is as Afghan as the day is long. Shooting at uninvited foreigners is an even more prevalent national sport than that mounted game with a dead goat.

Do you really think you can morally support the idea that democracy's -- thus mankind's -- enemies should be thought of as people? People are who they hurt. Should they not be prevented? Face it, bub: I'm more pro-democracy and pro-human than you are. Today, anyway. Pull up your socks.

Surely you've heard of the "impersonal you" from English class? I know I have. Is your English somewhat deficient, or are you merely quibbling just to show you can quibble? I can think of better hobbies -- give hand bookbinding a thought. I mean not only this forum's readership in general, but myself, and you personally, head slice. Don't be wanking while democracy's enemies fuck up the planet.
