I've been hearing a lot of talk about "bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age."
[...]
Trouble is, that's been done. The
Soviets took care of it already. Done. Turn their schools into piles of rubble? Done. Eradicate their hospitals? Done. Destroy their infrastructure? Cut them off from medicine and health care? Too late. Someone already did all that. New bombs would only stir the rubble of earlier bombs. Would they at least get the Taliban? Not likely. In today's Afghanistan, only the Taliban eat, only they have the means to move around. They'd slip away and hide. Maybe the bombs would get some of those disabled orphans, they don't move too fast, they don't even have wheelchairs. But flying over Kabul and dropping bombs wouldn't really be a strike against the criminals who did this horrific thing. Actually it would only be making common cause with the Taliban--by raping once again the people they've been raping all this time [...]
He
really believes Islam would beat the west, he figures if he can
polarize the world into Islam and the West, he's got a billion
soldiers. If the west wreaks a holocaust in those lands,
that's a billion people with nothing left to lose, that's even
better from Bin Laden's point of view. [...] the war would
last for years and millions would die, not just theirs but ours.
Who has the belly for that? Bin Laden does. Anyone else? |
