Not long ago you were arguing the justifications for the US to
use torture on people only suspected of terrorism. Later you
were arguing that human rights are not applicable to
non-citizens. Now you are claiming that women can't take what
men can. <sheesh> But the Taliban are still much worse than
anyone and justify whatever means we could ever employ and
definitely prove there is no alternative but more violence in
the world. Yep. Makes great sense to me.
My apologies. I should not rise to the bait.
