Question for Red and the rest of the tree huggers?

why is it relevant who put them in power? my question remains. if you lived under the taliban, would you be happy or sad to be liberated? or you would be scared of the big bad american soldiers? afraid of the lsu fan national guardsman from metairie coming to your village and jailing the guy who killed two women for showing their hair in public?

why are you such a fan of the taliban that you want them to remain in power?

 

Because they don't destroy the poppy fields. Duh!

 

yeah let me break out my taliban shirt. to answer your question, i do not know because i am not from afghanistan. but if you think every soldier is a good guy then you are obviously a sheltered person. One of my best friends did 2 combat tours in afghanistan and 2 in iraq, if you think for one second that all of our soldiers over there were liberators, you need to wake up. I will be sure and get you a copy of his book when it comes out. We have brave american men and women who were put in a situation where they were set to fail. Set to come back maimed, or burned, scarred mentally for life, and for what? What did we accomplish? Got rid of a dictator, and government, to replace them with what will eventually become the same thing.

actually the taliban did destroy the poppy fields. george bush gave the taliban 43 million dollars to destroy poppy fields, the taliban were anti opium. matter of fact, since the removal of the taliban, the afghan heroin industry is booming.

ok red.

well, i can answer my question. i am not a fan of radical religion. i dont like theocracies. if i lived under the taliban i would not like it. i would love when the americans showed up. so pardon me if i cant muster up any sympathy for the poor islamic moron who would rather beat a woman to death under sharia law than deal with the scary freedom of a government not run by muslim lunatics.

 

so you are pro government as long as its not governing you is what you are trying to say.

 

to the extent that the government is another arm of the local religion, i oppose it. i oppose 100% of what the taliban stands for.

when the americans arrived, i would have not only favored them, i would have helped them, and asked if i could become a soldier with them in return for american citizenship, and after the war i would have moved to new york and opened a falafel stand.

i would be on e of these morons that you support, these "freedom fighters" that are opposed to american interventionism. i would beg for american intervention. anyone with half a brain that lives in a place like iraq or afganistan should pray 5 times a day that american troops start blowing up their neighborhoods, because that means better times are ahead. especially if you are a woman.

 

yeah thats what afghanistan thought in the 80's.

 

do you want an award because you know that america helped afghans fight off communists?

look, if you are some sort of religious guy that loves radical islam, loves sharia law, loves forcing women to wear crazy crap and loves to beat them up or stone them to death, thats fine, favor the taliban. call them "freedom fighters". make comparisons with the patriots of the american revolution from imperialist britian. but if you dont favor radical murderous crazed islam, then you are gonna have to admit that afghans are better off with americans killing the taliban off.

if you want to ask whether it is worth it to us as americans to spend money and lives over there, fine, different question. but your argument that afghans should treat americans as anything other than a liberating force is ludicrous, unless of course you are a member of the taliban and favor a global muslim caliphate.

let me tell you when exactly i won this argument. when i asked if you would prefer taliban rule to american rule, and you said "i do not know because i am not from afghanistan". you admitted you know nothing about what it means to live in a country under fundamentalist taliban rule. do some research on what the taliban is and what they do, and think about if that lifestyle suits you. if you are a religious lunatic and a coward that likes to have his life dictated to him and enjoys merciless beatings of women, then maybe you would like the taliban.

 

dude you are a clueless retard. i am not from afghanistan, yeah i did say that, but neither are you. Were you under the taliban's rule? No you weren't were you. You said YOU would be happy that your village was demolished in the name of liberation, even if your whole family was killed. Martin mr. anti everything, the same guy that cracks racial jokes at every chance he gets, now you expect me to believe that you give a damn about afghan women? You still cant get past the point that maybe Afghan's do not trust americans because of what happened the last time they came over and promised to help them. Your sanctimonious attitude is getting old.
