BAD **False\_God**! Bad bad badbadbad…!

Do that, and the civilized world will condemn us for using weapons of mass-disinformation, while the Taliban declares a jihad against us.

Well, since we’ve already imported those Police Academy movies and McDonalds, I don’t think our international profile would be much diminished. All we have to do is convince the aforementioned hypocritical fundies that it’s God’s plan for them to convert the Afghanis, and it’ll be like shootin’ fish in a barrel.

Now, seriously, the Taliban have me massively horcked off and I’ve been trying to figure a way to improve the situation and can’t come up with one that will work. Like I said in my previous post, I think the people will either die off in such record numbers that international forces will intervene, or the people will revolt.

Or Afganistan will depopulate to an extent that it ceases to be a nation, getting divvied-up by the local power players.

It’s well on the way there, now.
