“Mr. Rall, of course,…
“Mr. Rall, of course, casts his lot with that genocide’s perpatrators and beneficiaries.
“Apparently murderous hatred of Westerners, especially Americans, gives you carte blanche for murderous hatred of Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and, yes, Zoroastrians.”
jeet, what are you talking about? If you’re referring to the Taleban, Rall describes them as “the world’s worst regime” ca. December 2001. He also thinks the Northern Alliance jihadi-warlords who now have their claws sunk into the country are just as bad, or worse, than the Taleban were. Maybe that’s true and maybe it’s not—Afghans who had to deal with all of these fuckers from 1989-present are mostly not very enthusiastic about any of them. But (1) how do Ismail Khan, Rabbani and company count any less as “that genocide’s perpatrators and beneficiaries” than the Taleban? And (2) how does ranking one bunch of people “#1 most evil motherfuckers in the world” and ranking another bunch of people “#2 most evil motherfuckers in the world” constitute casting your lot with #2?
