So Kabul has fallen...And so has Afghanistan. [View all]

I was going to post another Taliban atrocity and war crime video but why bother.

Feel bad for

the lost generation of freedoms of Afghanistan
the young girls who will become sex slaves to these animals
the young girls who held such promise
the women who are were working and now thats over
the women who will be stoned
the women who will be whipped in public
the forcing of girls and women to wear demeaning burkas
the women who will be shot to death for breaking insane taliban rules
the boys who will be sex toys
the boys who will be brain washed into becoming EVEN more taliban
the hindu and other minorities

and Afghanistan has now become a haven for more terrorists...again

out of site...out of mind

I am past sad.
