The fruits of spread democracy
We should really be proud about the results of our “Nation Building” and “Spreading Democracy” into Afghanistan. Thank to us the Afghans now enjoy freedom of speech - they have the freedom to say whatever they want and the government in return:
I’ve already reported on the plight of Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh, the Afghan student accused of "mocking Islam and the Quran". Up until now, though, a death sentence for the journalism student for blasphemy was only a potential.
Now an Afghan court has actually sentenced Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh to death.
For blasphemy.
The NeoCon logic of “Spreading Democracy” tied together with alliances with tyrannic regimes doesn’t strike me as brilliant, successful or moral. And yet it is consider radical, outright stupid and fringe to suggest otherwise.
