The aggression of USA in Afghanistan

america. does not compute. NeEd OiL.

 

Opium production in middle east has gone up 90% since the war started.
Coincidence?

I like to think the Oi polloi song - Americans out!
can be applied to any country

 

They try to pollute us with heroin since we polluted them with alchohol pornogrpahy fast food...all that good western stuff.

At least they are justified.

 

Obama is a figurehead. He is the smiling face of the neo-imperial war machine. Without war all the time, the U.S. economy would crash. I see very little effective resistance being mounted against the war in my country. Part of the problem is, even though a sizeable majority of U.S.ers oppose the war, they don't know how to oppose it in a way that matters. The entire anti-war movement, which was already preoccupied during the last administration with shaming men who were beyond such feelings, collapsed in on itself to support Obama--a candidate who was not anti-war but, rather, "less pro-war" than his Republican counterpart. A massive general strike that involves the at least the trucker and dockworker unions is the only thing I see stopping this. I doubt something like that would every happen in my country.

 

At least my insignificant, tiny country is trying to stop sending troops. Or at least they've decided to debate in parliament whether we should send troops or not and most info in the news leans towards not going.
Then again... Harry Potter, our prime minister, is the teacher's pet of the US's classroom.

 

From Aurora, Colorado: From what I've seen, the majority of the people here seem to lean against the war, however lethargically. I'm 14, and most people of my age seem to have some political views, however lack the most important part; knowing why they believe what it is that they believe. I certanly am against the war, and any war in general for that matter. 9/11 wan as inside job to justify an imperialistic war, and the government thinks we're dumb enough to buy their lies. Even the mask they use to hide the truth is.. Wrong. Freedom cannot be spread with a gun.

 

No I don't resist it in my country because I don't want to go to prison.
And also I sent care packages to a couple people I know who are very close to me when they were in theatre because they asked me to and I was glad to help.
I do not believe there is any significant, outweighing positive effect of the war in Afghanistan. It doesn't make much sense to me because I always feel like I have to see things from multiple points of view as opposed to simply taking sides with a particular group of people.
It's a shithole country and it will be like that for a long fucking time and it's unrealistic for anyone to believe otherwise because of a foreign military presence. I do not believe the real objective of the governments of these foreign militaries and NATO is to liberate.

There is constant fighting in some eastern areas of the country, near the Pakistani border, typically involving small outposts and small elements of combat troops like maybe a single platoon or less. Of those 30-40,000 how many are actually combat troops, and even then, do you think very many of them will be sent to areas where there is constant fighting? No.

What's the fucking point? Let them fuck their goats and spay their daughters when they turn 13.

 

Good job realising the obvious about our country but....."Let them fuck their goats and spay their daughters"? Dude Fuck you. What gives you such a superior mindset to another people? We're all human, cultures may be different but never does anyone have the right to be prejudiced to another group of humans.

 

JK

But no really, when you think about it most of the middle east is extremely right wing.

 

That may be however it is not a reason for the carnage and destruction of war.

 

yeah I didn't say that

unlike many people here, i don't believe that people dying on one side is better than the other because of politics.

 

At least our government fell, amongst other things, because of the war in Afghanistan

 

And because there is no real Government left,
The decision is still to be made,

and if there's going to be a mainly socialistic Government (which is quite possible),
we'll get the f*ck out of there before 2011

 

Yeah that or we get the taller version of Hitler in government with a dead cat on his head <_<

 

Wow, is that picture for real?! It looks like it's poorly photoshopped! If this doesn't give me nightmares, i don't know what would...

 

Our country worries about our economy and very selfish to keep the people from overthrowing the government. Imagine if our the US became another depression. I think there would be riots and chaos in the streets. Not a pretty picture. I just worry about the innocent people that are being affected by this war. I hope that this war will be over soon. Too many things on the balance scale for this war.
