The Taliban blew up thousand year old Buddhist statues in March of 2001.
It's all the same war. Holy war against all that offends Islam.
"The Taliban blew up thousand year old Buddhist statues in March of 2001."
A little off topic, but during the 2004 election, while looking for bills Skerry had written himself, some silly bill condemning the destruction of these statues was about all I could find. No mention of the killing and brutalization of the people of Afhanistan at the hands of the Taliban! Just a bunch of elitist hot air about the destruction of ancient and historical symbols....blablahblah
Don't get me wrong. I think the destruction of those statues is horrible, but you would think after (20?) some odd years in the senate, Kerry would have been moved to write bills about more pressing issues...(rolling eyes)
