About the Taliban question, it’s none of our business. I read a book from the nazi hunter, Simon Wiesenthal, about his activities. It is full of intriguiging musings. At one point he writes that he won’t analyze the German mindset because, although possible, he doesn’t want to. This is a very true point.
People aren’t born bad, and almost anyone has a rationalization for what they do. Very few people do things because they are bad. Even when they want to do evil it is with the intent of showing who’s boss, or something like that.
However, internally bad or not, they are wrong. Dead wrong — in the sense that we kill them. Their soul gets judged by the One that knows the heart. We judge and act upon actions.
