#1 The writer points out that the Taliban were difficult to deal with:

Erick de Mul, a UN coordinator for humanitarian affairs during that period, spoke often of the need to negotiate painstakingly for something as simple as opening an office or the introduction of a badly needed health training program.

She neglects mentioning that President Bush gave the Taliban a chance when he said that all they had to do was to hand over Binny and his boyz; the Taliban would not and did not. Heck, he gave them a chance, then he followed through.

Kinda negate her whole point, no?

#2 Someone please send that stupid bitch a videotape of the Taliban executing burqa-clad women in the soccer stadium, shooting them in the back of the head for the "crime" of adultery.

This sure has been a time of great clarification. Never before has it been so obvious who is stupid and who has a clue.

#3 It's hard to conceive that a woman could write anything in defense of the Taliban, the most psychosexually sick regime of modern times. Islam itself is a horrifying form of mass institutionalized misogyny and on that grounds alone most be destroyed. Judaism and Christianity are pretty bad in their treatment of women, but Islam is beyond disgusting.
