Reply #6: So imagine that you are an afghani [View All]

[endarkenment]

and you are dirt poor and your country is occupied by foreigners who don't speak your language, don't understand your culture, drive around armed to the teeth in convoys of SUV, APCs, etc. Call in air strikes that kill your cousins whenever they feel like it, and enrich the same corrupt bastards who have been pillaging afghanistan since the 70's.

The only folks who appear to be offering an alternative are the taliban and their jihadist friends. The only folks who will avenge your cousins deaths and redeem your damaged pride are these same taliban and their jihadist friends.

The arrogance of our imperial adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan are astounding. We are lead by incompetent arrogant fools, fools who kill and maim and torture and rape without hesitation, without concern, fools who think of nothing but plundering both our nation and the rest of the world.
