At some point one has to realize all peoples and nations are not equal and don't get the same voice in their fates, and their national destinies.

The UN is the ultimate proof of this inequality of people's and nations.

Only in the abstract mind of the philosopher are all men created equal, much less the governments and nations that men create.

Like it or not, the violence they embrace is the same violence they attract. Controlling the Taliban is like keeping an ant infestation under control. You never get them all and new colonies will spring up to take their place. Once one accepts this, one realizes one is winning just by keeping them out of political power. Just like in Iraq, we are winning when we keep the 3,500,000 barrels a day pumping.

Moral equivalence of peoples and nations is for those who live in the pure abstract, devoid of all tangibles, rather than in the real world. In the real, objective world each nation and group can be assigned a tangible value based upon their actions, beliefs and history. Objectively, the US is heads and tails above the rest.

Bowser will run and embrace the Taliban, or for that matter any group or anyone else who heaps blame on America with their small, illiterate, easily controlled minds. Those "victims" of America which he sees all over the world.

The results of such embrace is naturally evil. More death, destruction and the propaganda which keeps men living in squalor and women in servitude from birth to death.

Becoming an agent of evil is as easy as dismissing objective reality and becoming an idealist whose efforts constantly comfort evil folks and keep others from being able to extricate themselves from them.

Those Afghanis living in the Afghanistan "green zone" seeking a better, free Afghanistan have no greater enemies in the world than the likes of Bowser, whose anti-US rhetoric only leads to their future enslavement, murder living in a land of eternal ignorance and darkness.

And the most ironic part is he really believes he's helping all these "US oppressed" peoples.

Objective reality is your friend. Do not ignore her. Scorn her at your peril.
