Afghanistan will never go away

Dear Editor, Afghanistan is an unending nightmare that will never go away.  We got Osama Bin Laden. We wanted to avenge the heinous deaths of September 11, 2001. We were all mad and we are still angry about what evil people did on that day. We will never forget. We could have covertly taken out Bin Laden and many more terrorists without all that our political leaders have done over the last 20 years.  Thousands of parents lost their children in Afghanistan. Thousands of spouses lost husbands and wives. Children lost their parents. These precious Americans will suffer the rest…

Give our guns to the Afghanistan women

Dear Editor, Afghanistan has guns but they are in the hands of the wrong people.  Television news reports have confirmed the Taliban has our helicopters, our tanks, our trucks, along with billions of dollars of our American taxpayer-bought military weapons and more.  Afghanistan already had a strict gun policy. The Taliban’s is stricter. You aren’t allowed to own automatic weapons or handguns. Thus, while the Afghan citizens have struggled for defense weapons, the Taliban and other terrorists have had access to all they have wanted. The bad people have guns. The good people do not have guns. The bad people…

The Taliban

Dear Editor, With the Taliban now as the Afghan government, it is very possible they will revert in culture back to the 4th century, but with 20th century weapons. If this happens, they will apply a severe interpretation of Islam and the Qur’an. With the Taliban, Islam’s Sharia Law will be strictly followed in a most conservative, militant view. Sharia Law regulates public behavior, private behavior, and even private beliefs. Sharia Law also favors corporal punishment and capital punishment over incarceration. The Taliban will likely be the most intrusive and restrictive government, especially against women. Women will go back to…

You are invited

Dear Editor, Something is happening in our world today. Does it make you wonder what’s going on with all the strife and rioting and tensions in our world? With the vaccines and the mask mandates they are forcing people to wear? Maybe it’s a preparation time for the mark of the beast: “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads. And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the…
