News media are deliberating over which is worse--the Taliban, ISIS or Al Qaeda. Meanwhile, who remembers how US troops were told to ignore the institutionalized rape/sexual slavery of little boys by Afghan security forces-- the so-called "good guys"? A tradition called Bacha bazi?

Who remembers when former president Hamid Karzai, another good guy, ritually sacrificed an animal with his bare hands before speaking to his subjects?
