| 1126144 | 2010-08-13 04:14:00 | bn2 what do we have here??? Anti American to the point of insanity. Unwilling to conceed basic facts. Promotes nzl withdrawal from afghanistan, and Muslim innocence. like cicero I believe there is nothing lower than a dobber, not even child molesters. But, is report someone for possibly rendering political assistance to the enemy "alqueda", dobbing?? after all we are unofficialy at war with alqueda. :) Further more is not who we are fighting in Afghanistan, but what. The enemy is a many headed and named hydra, birthed in the Muslim militant fundamentalist cespool. many of us will have gone quietly and peacefully to our graves before this one is over. At the risk of insulting churchill, we are far, far, from the end of the beginning. Definitely not Anti American specific. Anti ignorance. Sure the US is the leading country in the West and takes a fair amount of the heat. I actually don't have a major issue with the Iraq or Afgan war. I have a big issues with those that support those wars not have a freaken clue what they are "really" about and its sure as hell not freedom or religion at the root. |

The West wants to maintain a strong presence in the middle east for resource reasons, and a variety of other countries and groups wants us out. From the Wests point of view Afghanistan is an attempt to take out the infrastructure of the opposing army (or if you must Terrorists). We are not there to save innocent civilians from the Taliban like the OP suggests. |

You make it sound all very simple but it is never like that and I think you need to take one of your blinkers off.l |

Funny how you think you are the only one capable of knowing what is really going on, but then you conspiracy types always have the inside running on the truth, or at least you always think you do. |

What Conspiracy?, these fights for regional and resource control have been going on since the beginning of man lol, religion has always been used as a tool to motivate the weak. I remember VERY clearly what Bush stated when invading Afghanistan, it was to disable Al-Qaeda support structure in response to 911. As the years ground on, more of this "free the people crap" seeped in. If you are going to back the war at least get it right, take those rose coloured glasses off! If you use your brain and ask "What do the so called Terrorists really want" then you can start looking at all this far more objectively.
