Gloating is ugly. No matter who is doing it.

The Taleban gloated about their storied reputation...descendants of Alexander the Great,
bombs don't scare us, we'll beat our women on the street whenever we d-mn well please,
heck, we'll blow their heads off if we feel like it, blah, blah, blah.

They were pretty ugly about it. Even calling the USA and US citizens some nasty names.

After enough of it (and over 5,000 dead innocent Americans and guests)...somebody had to
shut up those impolite, unshaven blowhards.
Oh, and lest I forget, they are/were sadists.
