Dancing your head off in Afghanistan

[manifold]

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Insurgents beheaded 17 civilians in a Taliban-controlled area of southern Afghanistan, apparently because they attended a dance party that flouted the extreme brand of Islam embraced by the militants, officials said Monday.

The killings, in a district where U.S. Marines have battled the Taliban for years, were a reminder of how much power the insurgent group still wields in the south — particularly as international forces draw down and hand areas over to Afghan forces.

The victims were part of a large group that had gathered late Sunday in Helmand province's Musa Qala district for a celebration involving music and dancing, said district government chief Neyamatullah Khan. He said the Taliban slaughtered them to show their disapproval of the event.

This is what the Afghans want though, if they really didn't want this they would be fully supporting the US and the Taliban would have been done years ago. The Taliban get help, shelter, support and assistance from a good bulk of the Afghan people, this is how they have managed to survive for so long.

Which completely destroys the argument that violent, radical Islam is only practiced by a fringe minority.

Practicing it is one thing but alot of the Afghans certainly seem to tolerate it. If they really didn't want to live like this things would be completely different in Afghanistan.

If this is Obama's fault then 9/11 was Bush's fault, I mean, if we're applying a consistent standard that is.

We got what we set out for - Bin Laden. There is no more reason to stay in that hellhole. Declare victory and GTFO. Quit wasting lives, money, and time.

This view is obviously held in contempt by the Obama administration and will continue so no matter who wins in the 2012 election.

The President's administration is not our representatives, the congress is, but they have rolled over and played dead for more than a decade.

I firmly believe that the 2014 pull out date was forced on the administration by our massive, and growing national debt. Sans that we would be there forever. Just like Korea, what, 60 years now.

The polls, as reported in Polling-report.com show about a 50/50 split among the public. What does that tell politicians, you have carte blanche.
