Afghanistan Coming Unglued

The National Review: It's national!

 

As per usual, Jason Linkins @ HuffPo says it best:

Whatever the merits of counterinsurgency strategy, it's really hard to do when the counterinsurgents do things that the residents of the host nation perceive as being dickish or vulgar. I mean, the coach of the Marquette mens basketball team two-stepped on the West Virginia court after they beat the Mountaineers, and the kids in the student section had to be restrained, lest they murder him. So, you know, if American kids can get white-hot hate in their eyes over a basketball game, you can imagine what a religious person might do to someone who craps on your whole culture while occupying your country.

 

When wasn't Afghanistan unglued? Before the Soviets invaded? During colonial times?

 

Alexander unglued it in 300 BC.

 

If only Obama could convince those Crazy-Catholics that war and contraception accomplish the same thing, maybe the religious nuts would have a moral problem with their tax dollars being used to fund a violation of the 6th Commandment.
Thou Shalt Not Bend Thy Alter Boy Over the Pulpit? Did they remove that commandment in the early 2nd century?

So if Israel were occupied by an army which threw Torahs in the trash to be burned, you'd be OK with that?

 

Links says it best. How so? Perhaps we should just leave and let the inhabitants crap on each other. Muslims used the koran as justification for taking down the towers as well as trying to make Israel extinct, yet we are crapping on their culture.

 

How about an apples to apples comparison?

What happened when the U.S. Military burned Bibles:

Also, how are Bibles routinely treated in Muslim nations and what is the response?

 

More beheadings, less book burning. Get with the program, people!

 

Yes, YF, but Americans are a bad people whose history is marred by violence and intolerance. A little perspective please.

 

Which reminds me:

Baron, what belief system do you believe in? Because nearly every belief system throughout history has been used to justify killings.
