The person in question is indicitive of the sexist, racist and elitist attitude of the left (not all left, but I would say the systemic left). They need to nanny us because people are inherently stupid and they (the left) need to regulate every aspect of our lives because we don't have the where with all to do so (see: smoking bans, "sin" taxes, employment equity and so forth).
To wit, "they" would ban a Christmas Tree in public because it's offensive. Naturally, Menorahs and other public displays of faith aren't challenged, because "the little people" have to be pampered "for fear of reprisal". And to assume that Jews or Moslems are offended by Christmas trees is to consider them narrow minded and hateful. If it's Chanukah, I say "Happy Chanukah" to my Jewish friends. If it's Christmas, my Moslem friends say "Merry Christmas" to me.
So, since no apology is given for the murderous tactics of the Taliban (et al), it's because of a deep-seeded assumption that "they don't know any better" because they see them as nothing more than animals. After all, we are "poor sods" who ought to know better, but "they" aren't even deserving of mention for acts such as walking into a crowd of children and detonating bombs.
That is why the Left will never get my vote: their system is racist, elitist and sexist.
