Glenn Reynolds writes about the people who want to go join the Taliban:
I think that such departures should be encouraged. We should facilitate the travel of people like this from all over the world to Afghanistan. We should then do our best to kill as many of them as possible — preferably all of them. It will serve a valuable weeding function. And no, I’m not kidding about this. They’ve already said they hate us and want to kill us. Better that they should be sitting in caves in Afghanistan, than poisoning reservoirs or hijacking airplanes. (Of course, we should also add to their quality of life by spreading rumors — probably true — that among their numbers are Western intelligence agents sent as infiltrators).
Great idea! Give ’em all free tickets to Kabul. (Well actually, they’ll have to fly into Pakistan because there are no airports left in Afghanistan.)
But I’m much more worried about the ones who fight the infidels by living among us. The Saudis have been spending big petrodollars for years to spread Wahhabism in the US and Europe, and we need to realize that the fifth column is already here.
