How low can the Taliban go?

FYI, the brave young lady who got shot is a Muslim.

Uhhm, am I the only one who noticed someone advocating the extermination of all Muslims? Skuzzy?

I'm more about the extermination of all Southerners than Muslims if that's what you're talking about

So your opinion is were committing genocide in Afghanistan? Targeting civilians on purpose? And the girl was shot due to American actions?

LOL, I dont remember the place being a paradise BEFORE they decided to play host to every terrorist in the world. And if you think they "warrant extermination" it might be necessary to go to where they are to exterminate them. You cant do it by social media.

Bottom line is.

This whole situation is a case of "Dr Frankenstein Disorder"

You created your own monster to serve your purposes, and now its turned on you because perhaps they have freedom of thought, something America never accounts for.

And another thing, while these men are my enemy and I warrant their extermination as much as everyone else here. I am going to ask the question.

What did we expect when we invaded their homes, gunned down, bombed and burned their men women and children by the thousands, with weapons so powerful that it is not a case of war , but a case of eradication?

They are not extremist, they are desperate, they have no other way of hitting back, their only option is to shock the US people into withdrawal. But of course, America with its customary grace, doesn't get sentimental about such things, it gets angry, and drops more bombs.

^^^^^

How low can the Taliban go? A LOT lower than this... as can the United States.

An interesting read on how Saddam developed his WMD machine. As for his nuclear reactor and technology that was supplied by France, and later the Soviets. Had Israel not bombed it the Iraqi's would probably have had the bomb by Gulf-1. While America has some guilt we are far from near the top of the list regarding selling arms to Saddam. The Soviets come first and France 2nd. Saddams nuclear program was fiananced by the Saudi's who wanted an Arab bomb, "as if Saddam would have shared it with them". There was a purchase by the Saudi's in the '80s of 50+ Chinese IRBMs, and cooperation with Brazil in funding a new IRBM. No doubt these missiles were intended for Saddams bomb. These are the facts. Check them.

Who knows if we'll ever be able to say we improved the lives of the Iraqi people by removing Saddam. I honor those Brits and Yanks who fell there but often wonder if the place was worth it. The plan sucked and its not a given that war will ever help people. Nor should "helping others" ever be a higher priority then getting our own kids home in one piece. The two Bush's saw the world entirely in black and white and Rumsfeldt was an idiot.


In Afghanistan I dont know where were going. Obviosly you cant gives Terr's their own country yet at the same time what good is fighting them and then giving them a sanctuary in a neighboring country we give all that aid to and pretend are "friends"? Its all starting to stink like Vietnam. Theres no clear cut objective.

You can't apply reason or logic to the Taliban.

yes, you can... their motive is to instill fear....

Boy thats weak? Wikipedia ? I already told you we supported Saddam but not by selling him weaponry. What aid we gave him was almost all food aid. The cash to buy weapons was given by his Arab brothers, one of whom he later invaded. His largest suppliers of dual use technology for his Chem/Bio programs were the Soviets and West Europe. Its true pvt American companies were also cleared to sell him some. Equipment to make vaccines can also be used for weapons.

We don't directly fund them no doubt. We chose to be incredibly irresponsible with our usage of oil... and indirectly help fund all of this garbage... Next time you see a monster truck or other such gas guzzling waste... remind the owner, he is helping others fund our soldiers deaths in the middle east. The Madrasah thanks you for being so foolish.

[Rich46yo]

Somehow I just cant feature how the working stiff filling up with gas is "funding" our soldiers deaths. Thats quite a stretch aint it/ People buy and sell all over the world all the time. And if we didnt buy the oil yathink these maniacs would all of a sudden break out the peace beads?

When they aren't shooting kids they are throwing acid on their faces for learning to read or turning them into smart bombs. Nothing new.

Most people think,
Great god will come from the skies,
Take away everything
And make everybody feel high.
But if you know what life is worth,
You will look for yours on earth:
And now you see the light,
You stand up for your rights. jah!

The Arab League accounts for 30% of the worlds oil production (Saudi Arabia accounts for 10% alone). Many of the 'religious schools' that teach radical Islamic beliefs are funded by oil money, not to mention organizations like Hamas. And for thinking globally, my message is for all....

[Plawranc]

I meant the Taliban when referring to the "extermination"

And you aren't committing Genocide, what you ARE doing. Is invading a sovereign nation, killing the people in that nation, and suppressing resistance. No matter how high and mighty the reason, the Coalition (which yes, my country is a member of too so we are just as guilty). WE, invaded a sovereign nation and killed a large percentage of its populace.

They are the enemy, so we must kill them. Fact.

But can I blame them for this?

No.

Its the only way they can hit back at us, and as its showing now, making us fight among ourselves and doubt the mission.

Its a disgusting thing to do, but the Taliban have only one option.
