In 1221 the Mongols conquered the Afghani city of Herat. Genghis Khan’s son spared none of the city’s 12,000 defenders and he installed a garrison of the nomadic to rule in his stead. The Afghanis revolted and massacred their overlords.
In revenge The Great Khan slaughtered the entire city.
Only 40 people were spared from the carnage.
Pyramids of skulls lined the roads from the city.
Peace ruled the desolation for decades.
The Hazara in modern-day Afghanistan are the descendants of the Mongols.
NATO’s 2001 invasion saved them from the persecution of the Taliban and the Hazara stood firm against the Sunni extremists along with their traditional allies, the Tajiks and Uzbeks, who are mythically linked to the ghosts of Alexander the Great or Sekundar. Few people in America understand the convoluted kaleidoscope of good and the bad.
NUKE EM ALL is the mantra of the ignorant.
And the bloodthirsty revenge motif has unfortunately reaped a rash of murder investigations against US troops. Photos of finger and scalp trophies have appeared on the Internet. The Pentagon has stated that these atrocities were isolated incidents, but like the Mongols, British, and Russians, soldiers have acted with barbarism to combat the enemy.

A google search of these words revealed nothing.
Military censorship for the land of the freaked.
Truthfully I really don’t have to see them to know that they are there.
Or that we should get our troops out of there and Iraq.
ASAP.
The only other choice at pyramids of skulls.
Ala the Mongols.
