“Return of the Taliban: What lies ahead?”

“I’ll take murder, mayhem, and innocent children slaughtered for $1000 Alex”

  Well, when Barry's in the Oval Office, Michelle will invite them for a "Meet & Greet".

Y'know, Brie and wine, (no pork, of course), knosh with Code Pink, Harry Reid & Nancy, a little chit-chat, be nice to them, tell them what a terrific job they're doing uniting the Middle East, send them home with doggie bags, and then, three days later, when the terrorist attacks on our country occur, blame the previous administration and offer universal health care.

The radical loser (Long Read)
Der Spiegel ^ | 1/12/05 | Hans Magnus Enzensberger
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1694568/posts

(snip)

Contrary to what the West appears to believe, the destructive energy of Islamist actions is directed mainly against Muslims. This is not a tactical error, not a case of “collateral damage”. In Algeria alone, Islamist terror has cost the lives of at least 50,000 fellow Algerians. Other sources speak of as many as 150,000 murders, although the military and the secret services were also involved. In Iraq and Afghanistan, too, the number of Muslim victims far outstrips the death toll among foreigners. Furthermore, terrorism has been highly detrimental not only to the image of Islam but also to the living conditions of Muslims around the world.

The Islamists are as unconcerned about this as the Nazis were about the downfall of Germany. As the avant-garde of death, they have no regard for the lives of their fellow believers. In the eyes of the Islamists, the fact that most Muslims have no desire to blow themselves and others sky high only goes to show that they deserve no better than to be liquidated themselves. After all, the aim of the radical loser is to make as many other people into losers as possible. As the Islamists see it, the fact that they are in the minority can only be because they are the chosen few.

The Taliban “riddled the Bamiyan Buddhas with bullets.”

Wrong... They blasted them into oblivion with dynamite. They are gone.
