| babuks said: There is a natural principle of law that says 'audi altarem partem' means 'no one should go unheard'. When you try someone, you should hear from both the parties. But we only get to hear from Western Media and never hear from what Taliban say. If someone makes a film now with look-alikes and tell you that this is how the Taliban is, and you believe it, I feel sorry for your mis-judgment. |
Out of curiousity, have you read Mein Kampf? If not, would you consider Hitler to be evil? And if so, how do you reconcile your hypocracy in advising somethign you don't yourself do?
We have enough evidence to conclude that the Taliban is evil. We have incontrovertible evidence that the Taliban has been responsible for some pretty large scale killings. nothing they could say could excuse these killings, so, just as we can conclude that Hitler is evil without having heard his side of the story, we can conclude that the Taliban is an evil entity.
Note, please don't read more into this post than I said. For instance, just because I said what I said does not mean that I believe:
That those who fought the Taliban are morally clean.
That I believe the video is accurate (I haven't even seen the video)
Anything other than exactly what I said.
