The U.S. in Afghanistan

[kid908]

Yeah, that kinda wasn't working. See, the Taliban could call in their overseas terrorist buds. The Afghan resistance couldn't.

uh yes they can...they're called allies. You won't last as a resistence or nation without allies.

I dunno, but if you consider killing and torturing people for not conforming entirely to your beliefs not evil then I think you should probably see a psychologist, and quite soon at that

Maybe you just have a high standard for "good" or I just have a low standard for "good," but Just stop labeling one side good and the other evil. You think you're doing good by free them and they think they're doing good by defending their government.

You kids are fucking idiots! Tell me how many Afghans you know! Tell me what your sources are, since you seem to know so much! A mate of mine's entire extended family had to bail and leave everything they had behind because of the Taliban, and they were the lucky ones. The unlucky ones were stuck in villages where the only people with any sort of free will or right to voice their opinion were the Taliban! I dunno about you, but I find it literally impossible to believe that the people there could find this arrangement favourable. You think they enjoy being forced into following the laws of a bunch of religious extremists?

And guess what? They don't even complain about the current events there as much as the Americans I know or you for that matter.

Because Africa wasn't housing the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks at the time, do you think?

and guess who they're arming and funding/getting funded by in Africa? They aren't exclusively in Afghan, their organization is just as deep in other countries as gangs.

I've also have not seen a single real proof they're behind 9/11. Just our government's word that they were behind it. The word of the government that started an illegal war in Iraq.

And one final note, before anyone else decides to bring it up:

THERE IS NO OIL IN AFGHANISTAN. NOT ONE MOTHERFUCKING DROP.


Got it?

Also as a side note just to bring it up: NOT everything is about oil.


Can this thread be cut into 2 threads seeing how this thread is about joining the military and the reason for or against it and NOT about the ongoing war and the arguement for and against it.
