Yes, if the "peace movement" had its way, the Taliban would still be hanging women in the soccer stadium in Kabul for such offences as "immodesty" and adultery.

And children would still be being tortured in front of their parents to make them confess to political crimes.

But then again, these are the same types who, in the 1930's told us that Stalinist Russia was a worker's paradise, that the "Great Leap Forward" (and its resulting 10 million deaths) was a model for the rest of the world, that Castro is a man of honor and who paved the way for Ho and the NVA to make Viet Nam among the most oppressive regimes in the world.

What do you expect? Dicators can always count on the Left to shill for them here in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.
