Seattle Times reprints a syndicated New York Times article (behind NYT paywall) about our government concealing the widespread prevalence of pedophilia in Afghanistan. Specifically, Afghan men - soldiers and police - preying on underage boys, a practice considered normal there.
Afghanistan’s a place where you select one group of villains to be “our side” and they’re no better than the other group with the exception that “our group” doesn’t yet actively seek our destruction, but merely acquiesces therein. The country’s culture is so toxic you could reasonably argue it justifies genocide to eradicate it.
