In this most recent addition to my series of patriotic articles, which I base on facts derived solely from both CNN and international news sources, I shall continue to debunk the small, misinformed pacifist movement of our country. Let us turn our attention to a region of the globe where the archaic jellyfish policy that the pacifists propose is unheard of.
The Taliban regime is an atrocious incubator for pure evil. Findings published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in 1998 show that one out of two Afghanis have been beaten or tortured by the Taliban.
The list of offenses for men include having a short beard, being a member of an ethnic minority group (Tajik or Hazara), being in a mosque at prayer time, flying a kite, playing music at a wedding and laughing in public.
The offenses of Afghani women include not being accompanied by a male chaperone in public; walking through a designated male entrance of a public building; not wearing a burqa; not completely covering their face, hands, wrists, or feet; and wearing stylish clothes, white socks or shoes, or shoes that make noise when walking. Of the women detained for these diabolical crimes against humanity, 86 percent were beaten.
Of course, the crimes of the men are also applicable for women, but the men do not share the burden of the inhumane laws that the Taliban have imposed on women.
Speaking of dealing out the punishment, have you heard of the multi-million dollar soccer stadium that the United States and the United Nations built and paid for to help the Taliban integrate their country into the international community?
Perhaps you haven�t seen many soccer games on TV broadcast from there. The reason for this is that they converted it to a public execution arena. With my own eyes I watched in horror as I saw 12 brand new trucks parade around the arena. The beds were overflowing with those to be publicly slaughtered.
The video only showed one execution, but it was enough to bring tears to my eyes. The woman was accused of adultery. Another was accused of educating women.
When international figures righteously exposed the Taliban for their insolence, taking an expensive gift and perverting it, Omar�s response was, �Tell them to buy us a great building with which we may carry out our duty, and then we will have the luxury to participate in their games.�
It�s funny how such a rational leader confuses duty with slaughtering female teachers by the truckloads.
Even though the United States has been the Taliban�s top source of aid since their instatement, contributing $170 million last year, they continue to abuse our aid. They do not invest in infrastructure, but rather, they spend on social control and militant enforcement.
Clinton in his infinite moral relativistic wisdom agreed to pay the Taliban $40 million to stop production of heroin. Afghanistan produces 75 percent of the World�s heroin, and the money is used to support terrorism.
Of course intelligence later found out that although the known facilities were shut down, the production was merely displaced.
I also find it incredible that the Taliban is rejecting food from the United Nations, demanding a 33 percent tax on free food. We�ve allotted $320 million to this cause.
Does that mean that the Taliban are trying to squeeze $107 million out of us for their future massacres and terrorist support? They would see their people starve to death before they would let aid reach them. Once again, we learn more about the evil character of these parasites.
Another way the Taliban is driving their people into the grave is by not allowing women to work. Currently, women account for 70 percent of Afghanistan�s population. If they are widowed, then they must beg for money to survive.
With only 30 percent of their population contributing to the economy, the Taliban further shock their infrastructure.
Finally, some of the most tragic evidence comes from Afghani anecdotes. I had the misfortune to hear one of them on CNN.
Taliban troops took over a house and demanded tax. The man said that he didn�t have any money and apologized, so they shot him in front of his family.
Next they demanded shelter and the widow said that she could not take her children out into the snow, so they shot her in front of her little girls.
When the young girls were asked what happened when the soldiers stayed in their house for three days after their parents were killed, they grew silent.
They were then asked if the soldiers harmed them in any way. The nine and 13-year-old girls did not respond, but their eyes grew distant and they began to shed tears without blinking.
Fortunately our new president is a man of conviction. He will not bargain with the devil, and he is backed by the nations of the world, NATO and the United Nations (parties who received such convincing classified proof that they pledged unanimous support).
At first the Taliban said that they didn�t know where Bin Laden was.
Next, they said that they knew where he was but that they wanted evidence before they allowed us to try him.
Then, they said that they would try him in their courts. Now they say that he is a savior to their people and that they will never give him to the United States.
Like many other intuitive citizens, their dynamic song of lies has not surprised me. I called it from the beginning. Al Qaeda�s puppet government, the Taliban, is not so difficult to figure out if you focus and put the pieces together.
Within a world of terrorism, poverty and daily guerrilla warfare, the proposition of trading an iron fist for a cold shoulder is ludicrous.
The nature of these criminals is not conducive to negotiation or diplomacy.
While we present them with words and documents, they present unarmed citizens of the world with cowardly massacre. This is their leverage for negotiation. There are people who would answer massacre with pleas.
Contrary to the diseased moral relativistic, shade-of-gray mentality, an approach to this horror requires acute definition.
It is incredible that even 20 percent of our country lacks the lucidity that is required to judge this tragedy.
However, I believe that they are capable and merely misinformed.
Perhaps now they have gained more insight.
