Am I a bad person for wishing all the Taliban fighters would get COVID?

The ones who choose to be there, at least?

That’s all.

My guess is that a lot of them already have it. Good.

There are two things we should have done for Afghanistan.

One was to legalize domestically grown heroin, at least for the duration of the war. This would have destroyed the Taliban’s economic base and I believe caused their collapse long ago. The fact this wasn’t considered is a top example of how the army was at war while the rest of us were at the mall.

The second is that we should have given our Afghan allies first vaccine doses before we got our second.

They’ll give it to their victims, won’t they?

Not at all.

I meant, a strain that would only affect them.

Considering what a pit Afghanistan is, and what all diseases are endemic there, wishing COVID on them instead of some of those might be more merciful than you think.

Yes.

Better to wish all the Taliban fighters develop bad seasonal allergies, and in order to stop the snuffling and sneezing, surrender to the U.S. in exchange for supplies of Claritin.

I’m not sure I understand how this would work. The issue is that it’s being exported illegally around the world.
Legalizing it in Afghanistan would accomplish what exactly?

As I remember it (wikiconfirmed here) the Taliban actually opposed and banned heroin trade. And did so efectively until deposed.
BTW: One of the biggest victims of cheap heroin was Iran where heroin addiction is rampant. Might the Mullahs benefit from a renewed and effective heroin ban by the Taliban? Stay tuned.

Seems so. And ineffective, impulsive and immature on top of it. But it does not matter, because it is only a childish wish that will not become reality. Still: strange phantasies you have.

How about the ones who decapitate people?

They should be tried and sentenced. Perhaps even shot, if the court allows. But giving them Covid, with a mortality of around 1%? What is the point?
ETA: Donald tanTrump had Covid. Are his sins and crimes thereby pardoned and forgiven? Is that the reason he is not in jail yet? Just comparing evils and remedies…

If we’re wishing for things, I think them spending six months as the opposite sex would be more effective.

Right. Punishment should educate, if possible.
Speaking of which, I wonder how this video of Giuliani in drag could ever be forgotten.

I thought the premise was that they have a fatal case of covi 19.

That is not how I read the OP, but even so: why Covid and not, say, pancreatic cancer? Or diarrhea and flatulence during prayers? You want to humiliate them, reform them, teach them a lesson? @Skywatcher idea of turning them into the opposite sex for a while seems much better to me.

Indeed.

I’ve heard that Ukraine actually has the highest per capita number of heroin addicts of any country in the world, and this is one reason why they also have such a high rate of AIDS.

LOL!

And just how many ventilators are in Afghanistan? Probably not very many.
