Even 1000 Taliban is not worth her life. She is priceless. The only justice would be to turn Afghanistan into a sheet of nuclear glass, habitable only by roaches and scorpions.

—” She is priceless.”

“I do not personally regard the whole of the remaining cities of Germany as worth the bones of one British Grenadier. It therefore seems to me that there is one and only one valid argument on which a case for giving up strategic bombing could be based, namely that it has already completed its task and that nothing now remains for the Armies to do except to occupy Germany against unorganized resistance.”
Marshal of the Royal Air Force Sir Arthur Travers Harris

Been saying that for 20 years. If we had nuked several of those cities.... in the days after 9-11 we would be in a much different place.

Agree.

Her death was a great loss to humanity.

May she rest in the peace of the Lord.
