This is a little blunt, but I sent it to every name on a lengthy peacenik list last week. Received a few sincerely contrite responses from religious Americans who wanted to know more about the Taliban, and many that said a variation on, "you stupid idiot! You don't know anything!" I am very grateful that these folks are not in the military.
My letter, subject line: Peace? Reality:
You are asking us to surrender everything of value, our families, faith, freedom and bow down to 'Allah' in the naive and wrong-headed belief that these militant Muslims will care what you think or want?

The Taliban has been carrying on ethnic cleansing for years. Rights for women? Forget about it. Children's rights? If you agree with the state, they won't shoot you. Different culture, philosophy, race or religion either convert or...shoot them, or imprison and torture them. They are not like us.

These terrorists don't want to "understand" you. They care nothing for your philosophy, or sophistication. They use machetes on children, rape and genitally mutilate women, have kidnapped the children of unwilling neighbors and sent their heads back in a hatbox, peeled skin slowly away from prisoners until they die of pain, they don't care about "fairness," juries, or free speech. It's their way or execution, the death penalty, no appeal, no delay, shot in the head where you stand, your children shot before you.

You can be forgiven for your ignorance, but there is no excuse for your ignorance of these terrorists while you're carrying on your naive campaign. By your actions, you hearten these very terrorists, strengthen their resolve and endanger Americans and our allies.

-brutal episode. We are talking about the systematic execution of perhaps 2,000 civilians, in large part because of their ethnic and religious identity. August, 1998.

Thanks. Yes, these libbies do not like the Taliban, or condone their atrocities against women. Their argument is more along the lines of "we shouldn't bomb them because these poor women will die."
