As if the US foreign policy’s reputation wasn’t tarnished enough, things like these still pop up to show the world how a big chunk of the American populous believe they are on some holy quest of sorts with those meaningless wars Bush has started but never finished. Now these troops are going around Afghanistan handing out bibles translated in Pushtu and Dari to citizens and label them as “gifts.” They say the are on a “hunt for Jesus.” What a great choice of words.
Now that Obama’s in office, a man that understands and respects everyone’s belief system, whether monotheistic or atheistic, the Pentagon has to get on top of this and makes sure that a bunch of rednecks don’t blemish the US’s rep in the region as did those Abu Ghuraib criminals. What is it about pious people and there firm belief that them, and only them, are on the right path? Isn’t that some sort of sociopathic behavior? And why is this not on CNN?
