THE TALIBAN TOO DISPROVE DARWINISM:
Taliban commander killed in Afghanistan (Reuters, The Associated Press, February 4, 2007)
As the United States took command of NATO-led troops in Afghanistan, a precision strike Sunday killed a key Taliban commander near a southern Afghan town overrun by militants.Posted by Orrin Judd at February 4, 2007 12:07 AMA spokesman for the alliance, Colonel Tom Collins, said that the strike near the town of Musa Qala killed a "high-level Taliban leader" and was conducted in "full coordination with the government." He did not identify the suspected leader.
Musa Qala, the town where a peace deal between village elders and government was in place since last October, was overrun Thursday by Taliban fighters who disarmed local police officers, ransacked the district center and hoisted their trademark white flag.
Actually, its very Darwinian. It's "survival of the fit" and the Taliban are proving that they aren't. I just hope we aren't breeding a "fit" Islamist in all this.
Raoul: Spencer, not Darwin; culture not biology. The CJ's would become fit in an instant, if they were to be reformed out of their lethal culture. An individual genetically of the West can become unfit in an instant, by adopting CJ-ism.
