The Taliban

You know what?

The Taliban says they have no faith in the trial of U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales in the killing of 17 civilians.

Yeah…so what.

The Taliban, by virtue of their global actions cannot be the paragons of virtue, or truth, or honor, or anything else remotely resembling ethical civilized society.

Here’s what the Taliban have been doing over the last couple of years according to the United Nations.

“The Taliban and other anti-government elements have been blamed for 2,332 of the 3,021 civilians who were killed in Afghanistan last year - a rise of 8% on 2010. In 2011, UNAMA documented 2,332 civilian deaths and 3,649 injuries by the Taliban for a total 5,981 civilian casualties, an increase of 10% in deaths and injuries attributed to anti-government forces compared to 2010. This accounted for 77% of all deaths whereas Nato and government forces totaled 410 civilian killings and 335 injuries.”

So you nameless and shameless Taliban, you are the cult that’s full of the proverbial human residue and delusionary illusions when you postulate to the world that you have the right to  avenge the deaths of one deranged U.S. Soldier. 

YOU are the one’s who are deficient in honor. You are the megalomaniacs and the religious fanatics.

We know it. You know it. The world knows it.
