| Will the US have to liberate Afghanistan again? |

You might have heard the disturbing news that an Afghan Christian is on trial for his life for apostasy from Islam. His family turned him in (ratted him out) during a custody dispute, and the case is being handled by a religious judge who leans heavily towards Sahariaism.
The US is pressuring the Afghan goverment to maintain the right of religion that is part of their constitution, but Afghan politicians wring their hands and say it is part of the judicial process and they can't interfere.
There is a move to have the man, who converted sixteen years ago, declared insane, thus sparing him from death by the sword of justice.
Would you support an American army of liberation attacking Afghanistan so that democracy and freedom can be established?

as you know ;sometimes the judiciary has a different view of the law than the elected branch has .......even in this country .
Last I heard is that Afghan President Hamid Karzai has assured that Abdur Rahman will not be put to death . With diplomatic pressure coming from Condi Rice ;John Howard ,the Canadians and other members of the coalition I do not think that Karzai will risk our good will by allowing an execution.

>>>The Taliban was an internal affair. <<<
Not once the connection between the Taliban and al Qaeda was established. Not once 19 of the 20 hijackers travelled from Afghanistan.At that point it stopped being an internal affair and became a threat to US national security.
