Should Afghanistan Elect A Republican President?
Should Afghanistan Elect A Republican President?

According to a secret U.S. military report, the Taliban are steadily taking control of Afghanistan. While this is unacceptable to the U.S. government, it would however accept Republican control and the Republicans and the Taliban have some major issues in common:
Both favor Jihad, in the U.S. called the "War on Terror," in Afghanistan and far beyond its borders, both would outlaw abortion, and funding for Planned Parenthood and contraception. Both oppose unions, gay and otherwise, both would slash education costs and medical care, both have religious fanatics who want their religious beliefs to be the laws of the nation and neither organization can stand the thought of paying taxes. One prominent U.S. Republican presidential candidate wants to build a U.S. colony on the moon, but building it instead in Afghanistan would save taxpayers huge money and in many places in Afghanistan, the landscape looks about the same as the moon.
With Republican support, Afghanistan could replace the Cayman Islands as the global tax shelter center used to hide profits. This financial windfall could help rebuild the Afghan economy on something other than the drug trade. The leading U.S. Republican presidential candidate is fond of saying "God Bless America," [and no-one else] but given his success at routing money through the Caymans he could now say "God Bless America, Afghanistan and the Cayman Islands." This is a win for everybody.
