The Westboro Baptist Church has NEVER called for the murder of gays? Dude, have you never read their signs?
They say things like "F### will burn in Hell"--they do NOT call for the public stoning of homosexuals, as Choudary and other Salafis have.
And, as to Afghanistan...the Taliban isn't running the place anymore, therefore there's NO LONGER any reason for "NATO" to be there.
The Taliban are 'not running the place,' but still a powerful insurgent force in Afghanistan and Waziristan.
It's time to end the colonial occupation and bring the troops home.
For the umpteenth time, this is NOT a 'colonial occupation,' but the military response to the mass slaughter of people on the soil of a NATO alliance member by an element (al Qaeda) granted safe harbour by the former Afghan government. This is no more a 'colonial occupation' than the occupation of Germany by American and Soviet troops after WW II.
[B]y the same token, almost no one in Afghanistan or Iraq deserved the deaths THEY suffered through.
So the Axis troops killed by machine gunning Allied soldiers "didn't deserve the deaths they suffered through"? Sorry, but the Taliban were ideological fellow travelers and allies of al Qaeda, which murdered 2,996 people, in addition to niceties like acid and IED attacks on civilians. If anyone deserves to suffer, it's them.
