    Starting out with a bang.

    Well that did not take long. Freedom fighters fighting for freedom. Infidels must die. Paradise for the kids. I look forward to our local apologists attempting to mitigate the Talibans lack of humanity.

    Taliban commander stoned to death by angry villagers in Afghanistan
    Aug 23, 2011 Washington In a rare case of reversal of brutality, enraged villagers stoned to death a senior Taliban Commander and his bodyguard after they had shot dead a 60-year-old man, accusing him of being a government agent in southern Afghanistan.

    Wait, what? Moon and Abu have always told us the Taliban were the heros of the Muslim people. Why are Afghans angry about this? Why on earth would they stone their heros? After all, their heros are only doing gods work, right!?

    It is not well known, but the Taliban have executed thousands of village elders, often on very threadbare pretexts. They are trying to change Afghan tradition, but in their case it is to force Afghans to accept an extreme and ideological form of Islam where authority rests with the Taliban alone. Silly Afghans who object to the destruction of traditional local rule and customs obviously get what they deserve.

    The scary thing is the Taliban commander probably believed what he was saying. If the elder didn't agree with the Taliban then he was obviously siding with the NATO forces, right? You are either with us or against us, so anyone who isn't a fervent supporter is probably a Western sympathizer (so goes the 'logic' of the Islamist).

    This thread was started in May. It's no surprise the article would be taken down after a few months so save space. Your powers of observation see to be faltering, moon.

    One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. During the US war of Independence most fighting against the Brits were nothing more than treasonous terrorits - from the Brit point-of-view. Yet these people were and are to this day revered as heros of the cause.

    A freedom fighter fights vs military and the government. Terrorists target civilians. There is a difference.

    Your foot's in your mouth again sonny. You had better check out the statistics with respect to civilians killed as a result of the US bombing of Iraq.

    So if I am a General and I order a military formation bombed and one hundred civilians are killed as a by-product of that bombing, I am morally more in the wrong than if I personally strap explosives to a child and then send that child to a target and blow him up? What if I send 90 children out to be blown up? There is a breadth of action and intent which is at a different moral scale between the two actions and I am surprised Yukon can't see the difference.

    None of which is aimed at killing civilians, rather its hard to fight urban war in a safe way for both sides.

    It is simply as long as Jihadists and soldiers hide in civilian area's civilians will die.

    Foot-in-mouth can be defined as a conservative's attempt at justifying military actions that are deemed to be similar to that of a terrorist.

    you cant compare the 2, the differennce being psycho muslims deliberately target civilians, our troops dont.

    show me where our troops have used kids as bombs, or ran into a market and just started throwing grenades where there was nothing but women and children, or show me where our troops use ice cream carts as suicide bombs.

    ok and? from your own source it shows our troops sended leaflets telling them to get the hell out. our troops dont want or try to kill civilians, which is the complete opposite of what psycho muslim do on a daily basis.

    has a psycho muslim told civilians that they should leave before they detonate themselves? hell no, they want civilians to die and go for high numbers in killing civilians. and if they cant do it they send in children with bombs to get the job done.


    so once again, care to explain how our troops are anything like the psycho muslims you so defend?

    :lol:

    Whatever are you talking about?

    The Muslim terrorists constantly warn people they will be attacking. The USA has been well-warned. According to your "logic", it is NOW just fine for them to attack the USA!

    But what is most pathetic is that you somehow think dropping some leaflets in a city somehow excuses us of any responsibility from civilian deaths when we fire cluster bombs into a CITY filled with civilians. a weapon of ABSOLUTELY indiscriminate killing if dropped over a city, and is in fact an attractant to children.

    you are still wrong as psycho muslims purposely target civilians, and use children as bombs. our tropps do not purposely try to kill anyone but the psycho muslims you defend.

    However reprehensible they were still not the target:

    The bomblets packed inside these weapons wiped out Iraqi troop formations and silenced Iraqi artillery. They also killed civilians. These unintentional deaths added to the hostility that has complicated the U.S. occupation.
