Антиталибовская агиткампания на Западе...(?)

Эх америкосы! Разбомбили Югославию. Вскормили Талибов в борьбе против СССР. Вскормили KLA в Косово. Даже запрещают продавать оружие Македонии, которая с этими фундаменталистами борется. Теперь даже не знаю, как реагировать на эту наивность.
 
 
Короче секретарь нашего профессора разослала вчера по всему нашему департаменту вот это сообщение о Талибовской «религиозной чистке». Ну, в общем, "история с Гитлером повторяется. Специально даю весь текст.
 
 
Как... будем подписываться?

Dear All,
 
Please take a few minutes to read and act on this email.
 
 
On May 23rd 2001 the Taleban authorities in Afghanistan confirmed
 
that all Hindus will be required to wear a strip of yellow cloth
 
sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to identify themselves. They
 
claim that the measure is for their «protection». The world has faced this before, in 1939 the world was required, at great cost,
 
to rid itself of Hitler's tyranny, it is not hard to spot his child.
 
Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to relive it.
 
 
The Taleban's record on respecting other religions gives great
 
cause for concern that their ultimate aim, upon which they are
 
intent, is «religious cleansing». They have already
 
demonstrated their distain and intolerance for other religions and
 
traditions by the desecration and destruction of the ancient Buddhist statues, our collective heritage, within the Afghanistan.
 
Whatever your religion, or even if you have none, we hope that
 
you will agree that this fundamentally wrong. Remember,
 
«All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing».
 
Please do not do nothing, add your voice.
 
 
DIRECTIONS:
 
PLEASE COPY this email on to a new message,
 
add your name and those of your household who wish to
 
participate to the bottom and forward it to everyone on your
 
distribution list. If you receive this petition and you find that you
 
will be the 251st name on it, please e-mail a copy of it to:
 
. It will then be forwarded to the UN. Please then delete all the names,
 
add your own as the 1st and pass it on.
 
 
Even if you decide not to sign, please be considerate and do not kill
 
the petition as you will be denying your friends, and theirs,
 
their legitimate voice. Instead return it to
 
 
To The Secretary General, Security
 
Council and General Assembly of the United Nations.
 
 
We the undersigned are appalled by the decision of the Taleban
 
government of Afghanistan to require all Hindus to wear a piece
 
of yellow cloth sewn onto a shirt pocket in order to identify
 
themselves. An individual's communion with God, however
 
they find him, is a matter of personal conscience and must not be
 
the subject of intimidation or persecution. The right of
 
everyone to worship as they wish is fundamental and inalienable. The
 
United Nations was founded in order to defeat Hitler and his
 
henchmen who required the same from another religion with all
 
it's horrific consequences. It is completely unacceptable that
 
nearly 60 years later history is repeating itself. We ask the following:
 
 
1. That the Taleban government is made aware in the strongest
 
possible terms that the world will not countenance this
 
perversion of human rights.
 
 
2. That prior to the United Nations and/or it's constituent members
 
granting recognition of the Taleban government this
 
obscene policy is reversed.
 
 
3. That the United Nations widen the terms of the trade sanctions
 
currently in force.
