Once again, the world was stunned by a YouTube video showing images of US Marines urinating on bodies of dead Taliban fighters. Many insincere politicians expressed regrets and disgust with the images and called the incident a gross failure of the US military code of conduct. Some called the incident, yet, another tool for jihadist to recruit fresh meat and some called it Obama’s Abu Ghraib moment.
As I was watching the video, many thoughts flashed through my mind. I thought maybe we are witnessing a new enhanced interrogation tactic called, “waterboarding the corpse.” You never know what kind of last minute information can be extracted from a dead Taliban. Then I thought maybe the Taliban fighters suffered from a serious case of jellyfish attack! However, that was silly since Afghanistan has no access to oceans. Then again, I thought maybe this was a result of jailbreak gone bad. Maybe the Taliban fighters’ breakaway tunnel took a wrong turn and ended in a public urinal. And the Taliban fighters exited the tunnel at exact same time as the Marines were pissing. Who knows what goes on in that little crazy country.
As the world goes gaga over the latest mishap, I couldn’t help but thinking about hundreds of little girls who were splashed with acid on their way to school by these same so-called fighters. Boys in orphanages dressed in drag to entertain and sexually arouse these animals. Women disfigured, beaten, raped and kept in small rooms for years. Public hangings, stoning, beheadings and humiliation of generations of Afghanis in the hands of Taliban… and then I told myself: piss on ‘em.
I will be the first in line to shake hands with these Marines (of course after they wash their hands) and thank them for finally pissing on the right people.
