You brought up Afganistan, so I commented that progress is made when sports facilities are used for sports, rather than murder. Do you disagree?
In my comment on Afganistan, I made no reference to any other country, from Andorra to Zimbabwe. I was just commenting on Afganistan. To make any inference to any subject other than the Kabul football stadium is extrapolation way beyond what is logical.
And yes, I followed the treatment of the Afgan populace by the Taliban before September 11, 2001. I distinctly remember an interview of a Mullah who responded to a question on the use of a facility (that was built to celibrate humanity through sports) for the execution of the citizenry.
The Mullah lamented that if the world community would only provide the Taliban with the funds to build a place for execution, they would not have to use the football stadium.
Pure anarchy is better than what they had with the Taliban, IMHO.
