The separation of church and state is an imperative to freedom. The Bush Administration totally screwed up our Afghanistan adventure and I don’t know if it’s possible to redeem it. Sharia Law may be part of Islamic tradition, but its chief weakness is that it seems there is no organized judicial structure, leaving its enforcement to the whims of the particular hearing body. I think redemption is improbable because the overwhelming majority of the male Afghani’s and no doubt many females, are culturally imprinted with the belief in the correctness of the system. Had we first gone in, ignored Iraq and concentrated on freeing the country from Sharia Law, worked to help them develop a more viable judicial system and released the bonds of Afghani women change may have been possible. Instead, in their enormous incompetence the Bush Administration took the easy route, made deals with warlords and surveyed the money making possibilities. The stupidity of our nation’s supposed “serious” foreign policy people and their MSM claque, knows no bounds.

I thought we got rid of the Taliban in order to free the men and women of Afghanistan! This is a very important example of our failures in Afghanistan due to our fever to attack Iraq. Now our finest have to go back to Afghanistan in force in order to root out the Taliban again. But will that actually free the Afghan people??
