    The Taliban theocratic savages promise to act like civilized human beings
    once they are permitted to resume power in Afghanistan, and the US and its allies pretend to believe them, but read this

    and much more on the Web.

    And look up "taqiyya" while you're at it.

    So, Afghanistan and its women are about to join a long list of one-time
    allies betrayed and abandoned by the United States and its allies.

    And the women of Afghanistan are about to join a long list of women around
    the world abandoned by "Western liberalism/progressivism" under the
    expedient excuse of "multiculturalism".

    Is "the West" declining, or are we selling the world to savagery, as long
    as our rulers and their flacks and thugs can live their lives out rolling
    in wealth, and to Hell with the world and our and their own children and children's children?

    I don't think the Afghans ever showed enough support for the western
    troops to make them worth helping. Thousands of soldiers killed or wound
    and billions of dollars spent and that rag tag collection of
    fundamentalists fighters still had support among the people. We would
    be better off to just put up a big wall and keep them all in there to rot.

    Freedom is not something you enjoy for yourself. One day the enemy will be taking your freedom away because you and your kind let them enslaved the rest of the world.
