"Eleven civilians were found beheaded late yesterday," he said, blaming Taliban insurgents.

The Taliban have made no comment.

1. American occupation has made

them so modern--- not.
Bush was so right about his objectives -- no nation building. None at all.

2. Are you lumping all Afghans in that "them," there?

[burnsei sensei]

3. With a people as sub-divided as they are,

it would be ridiculous to lump them all in.
I'm sure that most, particularly those who remember when Afghanistan was a coherent nation-state, are quite modern.
Those who feel they have nothing to lose, foreigners included, who have no stake in an Afghan nation-state, are happy to behead other Afghans.

8. Those . . . those animals!

9. well, i guess we will just have to stay there...

no matter how long we stay there, however many we kill, and how apparently stable it becomes, the moment we leave it will fly back to the way it was within two weeks. Should we stay forever? Oh, Obama is commander in chief now, so war is good again :sarcasm:
