Afghan Taliban Warn U.S. Strikes Would Sow Hatred

KABUL, Afghanistan (news - web sites) (Reuters) - Afghanistan's ruling Taliban movement said Wednesday any U.S. strikes against the country in retaliation for Tuesday's terror attacks in the United States would not succeed and only sow hatred in the region.

Taliban spokesman Abdul Hai Mutmaen told Reuters from the southern Afghan town of Kandahar that U.S. strikes could lead to further suicide attacks.

``If innocent and sinless people suffer, then it is certain that on the level of the region, hatred will further increase, the result of which will be similar to the suicide incidents,'' he said.

They can't retaliate if they're all dead.

Hmmmm...sow hatred? I think this was already established prior to the attacks, weren't they? And further attacks? Is this admission to committing the attacks in the first place?

Just a couple of my thoughts.

They already hate us to the extent of dancing in the streets at the deaths of innocent American citizens. What's the difference between hating us and hating us more? I'm not too worried about what they think of us right now...
