~ disturbing: uprising suppressed vs. prisoners massacred. we know those northern alliance tools like to shoot an unarmed person on the slightest pretense. on the other hand, fighting these taliban & co. guys must be like fighting zombies: “holdouts hiding among the dead shot two workers from the local health ministry”. no matter how you handle or destroy them, when you turn around, they are there to hypnotize you and eat your brains.

~ disgusting: hillary clinton vying with laura bush over the ‘plight of the afghan woman’ spotlight. it would have been more helpful for many woman if hillary had spoken up five years ago, or at least mentioned her deep concerns to her husband. in any event, if there is a path to glory, the ladies at rawa [w] will be far ahead of both of you.

~ dear united nations,

we have decided to decline your gracious offer of a peacekeeping force within the borders of afghanistan. while we will continue to hold talks concerning the future administration of the country, at least until international help is no longer needed to oust the taliban, we will not be needing any escorts or supervisors for the food, blankets, or medical supplies that we expect you to provide. we are grateful for your thoughtfulness concerning our security, but we find that the security of our intentions are most efficiently executed by our own armed and restless hordes. for example, after analyzing the data from a case study at a personnel holding facility outside of mazar-e-sharif, we have determined that our standard operations of shooting prisoners whose arms are bound behind the back are best facilitated without the interference or observation of others. in fact, it turned out to be quite a hindrance to have our soldiers stop their scavenging in order to cut the corpses’ bonds before the red cross was allowed to bury them. regardless of possible future events, please accept our gratitude today!

sincerely,

the northern alliance

ps. u.s. and british warplanes are still allowed to bomb targets for us.

~ the angry red planet offices are reopened after the u.s. staff was given the week off for thanksgiving arrangements. we return to find this missive:

“You would be beaten if you did not grow your beard or if you walked down the street with your head uncovered. The problem with the Taleban is they treated you like you were a woman.”
-Merwis Shakar

brilliant. how liberating to have the northern alliance arrive in your town; after all, you certainly wouldn’t want to be treated like a woman.

~ why would the u.n. be surprised that the northern alliance rushed into kabul at the first chance they saw? they’ve only been lusting after that city for five years. the northern alliance no doubt has its own political plan, which amazingly may not be to adhere to the plans of a western nation who would feel safer by manipulating them in a proxy war after not acknowledging them for the past few years. anyway, everyone there seems happy enough with their arrival; there is plenty of music playing and few burqas being lifted. it seems that the only people who might complain would be the arabs, pakistanis, and chechens, who are bound to be exterminated if they do not shave their beards and get their turbans buried quickly enough.

~”ahmed shah said as he felt his newly shaven face, i hated the beard. it was always itchy.’

wtf does this guy mean by that?!

“Greeted by cheering residents, opposition fighters captured Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul, in defiance of international pressure to stay out…”

“Israel said its forces would remain in two Palestinian-ruled West Bank areas despite a demand by the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council for a pullout.”

at least the civilians in one city are cheering…

~ would it not be simpler, happier medium to ‘federalize’ airport security personnel than to continue with the disinterested wage slaves who must be backed up by 6,000 national guardspersons? add to that: the 25% more guards that bush has decided to make available.

~ if there arose a case in which a, say, bomb brought down a plane in rockaway, queens, we wonder if the u.s. government would claim findings that the crash was actually due to ‘mechanical failures’, lest the public be reminded that not much security has been added to commercial aviation since september 11, 2001. naturally, the angry red planet does not want to fall victim to irrational fears of terrorism, nor do we wish to encourage such fears in others. however, we are timelessly more paranoid about lies from the u.s. government than we are worried about trying to adhere to the appropriate response to the news – that response being rationalized by the conflict between the immediate connections with the past against the it with the admonitions of those who let you know that if you suspect terrorism, then the terrorists have already won. anyway, it is probably just a routine take-off crash. colin powell said so. then, why were all the airports closed this morning?

~ happy veteran’s day. the parade in manhattan apparently heads north from 24th street, so there was no reason to be hanging out in washington square park for an hour this morning, unless you wanted to repeatedly insist to the guy with the blue parka and spicy sunflower seeds that you ‘didn’t need anything’.
