By the quotation marks I assume you think they were not evil, well ok, if
you think an injustice was done it may not be too late to put things back
the way they were one year ago. Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar is
probably still alive, we could put him back in power and he could get out
his trusty chain saw and get back to the important business of cutting off
the hands of people who committed dreadful crimes, like flying a kite or
humming. Osama Bin Laden may be alive too, we could rebuild his terrorist
training camps and apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused him.
Samantha, is this the policy you are advocating? If you really mean what you
are saying and are not just producing hot air then you must be.
