True Happenings in Afghanistan:Part Three

 True Happenings in Afghanistan:Part Three

Any nation that has Islamic code in its charter will be oppressive in nature. I am certainly no fan of the Taliban. However, it must be noted that Saudi Arabia too has these highly oppressive practices that have defined the Taliban. Other Middle Eastern nations, such as Oman, are just as brutal as well.

The Zionist and corporate press did everything they could to exaggerate negative people's views of the Taliban in 2000. Understand that Operation Mockingbird revealed CIA influences in the mainstream media. Before the Taliban shutdown their poppy fields, they were never on the "radar screen". After that, they started to come under scrutiny by the Press. After 9/11, they came into the spotlight despite the fact there was no evidence tying them or even Osama Bin Laden to that genocidal event.

Neocons on both the Right and Corporate Left will state that American forces need to go back into that nation. Progressive liberals and libertarians will state that America should have full relations with that nation while ignoring the Taliban's manner of governance. Populists will state that stiff sanctions, instead of military might, should be used against the Taliban-controlled nation by US and its allies.

The previous three measures will simply not work. America and its allies should actively engage with the Taliban but it should rigorously monitor that ruling entity for its human rights practices. For America to condemn the Taliban but not Saudi Arabia is indeed hypocritical. It should do the same to that Persian Gulf ally as well.
