The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant incumbrance. ... How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!

Russia Gushes Over ‘Fun’ Taliban at Theme Park—Then Reports Taliban Burned It Down
On Monday, anchor of state TV channel Rossiya-24 Stas Natanzon pointed out that according to Russia’s ambassador to Afghanistan Dmitry Zhirnov, Kabul is a much more peaceful place under Taliban rule. The program showcased a clip of what appeared to be jolly Taliban members at the amusement park—riding around in bumper cars, going for a spin on a carousel, and bouncing on a trampoline. Natanzon claimed that—compared to the group’s customary rules—the new and improved Taliban would allow women uncommon rights and entitlements, such as an ability to work and study.
The next day, Natanzon added, “According to all the information coming in, the Taliban is not what it used to be... Unthinkably, they even permitted golf and soccer!” State TV’s Channel 1 used the same jolly videos, with correspondent Yulia Olkhovskaya saying, “The atmosphere in Kabul is so calm that Taliban fighters are riding carousels like children and jumping around on trampolines.”
One day later, Vesti reported that the Taliban burned down that amusement park. The state media noted, “The Taliban had just announced amnesty and went on TV to promise peace in all of Afghanistan... but then they burned down the amusement park where they recently had so much fun. The Taliban probably objected to the horses on the merry-go-round. For them, these are idols that are prohibited in Islam.”
