Outrage

Such outrage about the Danish cartoon recently, I guess the policy must be, do as I say and not as I do.
A better example of outrage for me would be the forgotten February 2001 destruction of the tallest Buddha statue in the world.

KABUL, Feb 27 (AFP) - The leader of the Taliban Islamic militia in Afghanistan Tuesday shrugged off international condemnation of his order to destroy ancient Buddhist statues, saying "all we are breaking are stones."

"all we are breaking are stones."

Precisely. All we're doing is bashing some heads--which, in the case of muzzies, is remarkably similar to breaking stone.

Here's a deal; you don't blow up any more ancient wonders, and we'll consider leaving your barbaric hate cult semi-intact. Don't whine; you're being offered a bargain, you bunch of medieval, religious nutballs. Modernize and behave like civilized people, or we'll crush you like a paper cup.

Thanks jaregghead. We certainly don't live in a perfect world and I guess it is too much to ask for a civilized co-existence.
