Oh are the Afgans still telling the world that it's ok to rape boys because women are ickey?
Ironbite-honestly that whole region can get glassed.
I was actually thinking maybe this would be a good place to drop about 200-300 BLU-82. No radioactive fallout. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLU-82
Take just all the grown guys, especially Taliban types (but spare the few nice ones), corral them in a fended in big plot of land, then zoarch them with those BLU-82 things.
Then start over with the good men, women, girls, boys & very moderate/liberal Islamic scholars/clerics (if they wish to remain Muslim). Provide plenty of relief, education, kindness, diplomacy, fix up the infrastructure, etc. (lest they hate us more for the mass-murder of most of the male population).
Of course, this is all a goofy, hypothetical fantasy on our part. I'd doubt vaporizing the populace would be such a fab idea.
