Ya really gotta love those freedom fighters.

Freedom fighters good, but their other habits are less endearing. If and when they get control, no women will be able to go out in public without their husband, father or brother.

Are you saying that's a bad thing Mac?

Just think, under the Britiban, the next time you try to chat a pink chubby in your favourite taproom you could get a knuckle sandwich for your trouble, or a knife round your knackers.

That's true, McTag, but these are issues for them to sort out. The US, with the help of other war criminals, didn't invade Afghanistan to save the women.

I've read of talks between the Taliban and Pakistan where the Taliban are taking a more moderate route. I'd venture that women in India and Pakistan aren't all that much better off.

Worth a reread , again.

I think the Taliban abhor women.

I hear that the Taliban even beseech young girls to marry Taliban soldiers. They just rape and then slay the girls raising objections to this request.

A Chinese website just published an article saying some Taliban soldiers had strolled into an office owned by a Chinese news outlets in Afghanistan, after which they told a few Chinese journalists to "keep up the good work."

Lol. Comedy Central or SNL could use this punchline.
