There were the many flyers dropped upon the people of Afghanistan.
Here's one dropped around Oct. 20:
Do you enjoy being ruled by the Taliban? Are you proud
to live a life of fear? Are you happy to see the place
your family has owned for generations a terrorist training
site? Do you want a regime that is turning Afghanistan into
the Stone Age and giving Islam a bad name? Are you proud to
live under a government that harbors terrorists? Are you
proud to live in a nation ruled by extreme fundamentalists?
The Taliban have robbed your country of your culture and
heritage. They have destroyed your national monuments, and
cultural artifacts. They rule by force, violence, and fear
based on the advice of foreigners. They insist that their
form of Islam is the one and only form, the true form, the
divine form. They see themselves as religious experts, even
though they are ignorant. They kill, commit injustice, keep
you in poverty and claim it is in the name of God.
In the same spirit, the following flyer might be dropped
over the United States:
Do you enjoy being ruled by the Republican-Democratic Party? Are
you proud to live a life of fear, insecurity and panic? Are you
happy to see the place your family has owned for generations taken
away by a bank? Do you want a regime that is turning the United
States into a police state and giving Christianity a bad name?
Are you proud to live under a government that harbors hundreds of
terrorists in Miami? Are you proud to live in a nation ruled by
extreme capitalists and religious conservatives? The capitalists
have robbed your country of your equality and justice. They have
destroyed your national parks and rivers and corrupted your media,
your elections and your personal relations. They rule by threat
of unemployment, hunger, and homelessness based on the advice of a
god called the market. They insist that their form of organizing
a society and remaking the world is the one and only form, the
true form, the divine form. They see themselves as morality
experts, even though they are ignorant. They bomb, invade,
assassinate, torture, overthrow, commit injustice, keep you and
the world in poverty and claim it is in the name of God.
