"On Sunday night 60 Minutes ran a story entitled, "The Deadliest Weapon." Before that broadcast and the story reported by Bryon Pitts, I had been ambivalent about the war in Afghanistan.

The Taliban are only defending THEIR liberty to impose their sick brand of religion on the popoulation. They are NOT defending the liberty of the rest of the people of Afghanistan. The majority of the people of Afghanistan do not want the Taliban in control.
