The much more equivalent action (than the conservative's destroying the Buddhist statuary in Afghanistan) to the removal of confederate faces off Stone Mountain would be the Firdos Square statue destruction. The eradication of history related to the removal of the Firdos Square statue has resulted in no-one remembering who the statue was of, why there was such a statue, or even why someone might want to destroy the statue, other than he must have been a loser. Can we ever piece it together with the history eradicated?

I suppose some Democrat Talibaner needs to tell the Germans to destroy the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks, in 2018 the largest base of the German army. Obviously it must be a tribute to Nazism.

I wish that Robert E Lee had accepted Lincoln's offer to command the Union Army, but that's not what happened. He decided that his highest loyalty was to Virginia, and so did Thomas J Jackson. Monuments of the past must be preserved, otherwise we really do live in Orwell's horrible dystopian future.

We're wasting our time in Afghanistan. The real threat to the USA is here at home from the Democrat Talibaners.

I agree. They're trying to eradicate history.
