And you still side-step the issue. Really, it is so much easier to attack the person who disagrees with you rather than to address the issues they raise, isn't it?

I posted a paragraph in which I proposed a useful definition of 'freedom' and then I applied it to Taleban-ruled Afghanistan. I then suggested that Afghanistan failed this reasonable definition of 'freedom'.

If you wish to take the debate a step forward, what you need to consider doing is addressing the issues:
Do you agree or disagree with my definition of 'freedom'?
If not, why not? What is your alternative definition?
If so, in what way do you disagree with the way I applied that definition to Taleban-ruled Afghanistan?

Of course, if it is impossible for you to do that without questioning your own deeply entrenched position, you could just continue sniping at other forum members.
