Taking a page out of the Western playbook, the Taliban have experienced a recent surge in popularity and become "a more potent insurgency" by adding Public Relations to their arsenal.
The people don't like you? Lie to them!
Journalists found out about all the evil shit you do? Spin it!
'Terrorist Organization' not working for you? Become a 'Liberation Movement!'
They have even gone so far as to reveal to the public a new code of ethics for Taliban henchmen:
The Taliban’s spiritual leader, Mullah Muhammad Omar, issued a lengthy directive late last spring outlining a new code of conduct for the Taliban. The dictates include bans on suicide bombings against civilians, burning down schools, or cutting off ears, lips and tongues.So...it doesn't bother the Afghan people that not only has the Taliban essentially admitted to burning down schools, bombing civilians, and cutting off people's lips in the past, but they have now adopted Western political tactics?(courtesy NYTimes.com)
Clearly these assholes have been on a sinful path for quite some time and it's only going to get worse. What's next? Will they steal elections, get fat, and read James Patterson turds as their tarted-up molls trot around in miniskirts and suck cock, while the rest of the country remains in the dark ages?
Is this really the kind of organization you want to 'liberate' you, Afghanistan? I'm not saying America Fuck Yeah! is a better choice, but I'm pretty sure there are more than two choices here...
