Bombers attack Iraqi army recruits; 28 killed
But the statement that showed me how really ignorant you are about the world is this one: They are animals that NO ONE wants , not even their own. I could reply that although Mexicans are your own, because you see your own in religious terms, so the Mexicans are Christians like Americans are, but still you are building a wall to stop them coming into your country... But no that is too easy. The war US of A started forced 4 million, yes you read it wright, four million Iraqi people to become refugees. And any country that takes in those refugees is facing an economic disaster and many more trouble. So you have to understand why Saudis are trying to keep them away. The way I see it US of A that started all of this should be obligated to take care of them. Take them to America for example. (Wednesday Jul 16 | post #13)

Sure, sure... I am not saying that this war was started to benefit all of America's population. No, no, no you got me wrong there. This war is for the needs and wants of the few, the few individuals and few corporations. In the long run you Americans will pay a huge sum of money and sacrifice many of your citizens so the few wealthy could get wealthier. They don't care about the dead Iraqis or even the dead Americans. All they care is their profits. WAR IS GOOD FOR OUR ECONOMY!!! George H.W. Bush (Wednesday Jul 16 | post #12)

HEH yes, yes why do they hate America so much?? It has to be conected with an illegal ocupation of a country, causing countless wictims, destroying the economy and asking such dumm questions. Why do they fight among themselfs?? Islam?? Or the same reason for which you are there. Good old greed. (Tuesday Jul 15 | post #6)
Scores die in wave of attacks in Afghanistan
You got me there... Yes, yes Vietnam had many sides involved... But USSR helped the people with the same communist ideals like them. US helped anybody, no matter what they represented and what they did. Russians did not do that. (Monday Jul 14 | post #101)

Alliances are fluid by nature... HMM interesting. Lets just imagine that Russia by now sees USA like a threat and why shouldn't they? You are building rocket launching sights on their doorsteps. You have more than 700 military bases all around the world (this is only outside US), you are supporting anybody that opposes the Russian government and through Iraq, Saudi Arabia etc. you are their main competitors for supplying the oil to Europe and China. They probably see you like you saw Communism all those years ago. A threat. So how would you feel, if they went to Afghanistan or even Iraq and they trained, armed and financed every man who wanted to fight you. This is just what US did back than in Afghanistan. And they certainly ow you a favor like this.Many young Russian men died in Afghanistan than and you were the one made it all possible. (Monday Jul 14 | post #93)

The Taliban strength did not grow out of nothing... US helped them, armed them and trained them. (Sunday Jul 13 | post #11)

But still you avoid the question about US helping the Taliban. US armed and financed the worse kind of people just to see their influence prevail. (Sunday Jul 13 | post #10)

Yes sure... USSR were all killers, US is a candy bringer... Sure. Lets review the facts about USSR intervention: In order to bolster the Parcham faction , the Soviet Union—citing the 1978 Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Good Neighborliness that had been signed between the two countries—interven ed on December 24, 1979. Over 100,000 Soviet troops took part in the invasion backed by another 100,000 plus and by members of the Parcham faction. Amin was killed and replaced by Babrak Karmal. (Sunday Jul 13 | post #9)

Aren't those the Taliban US helped put to power? And why was the fight against the Russians who also helped the Afghan government against Taliban fight for freedom, but the fight against US presence in Afghanistan is considered terrorism? Its really confusing... (Sunday Jul 13 | post #1)

Aghan official says US strikes killed 22 civilians
As I said before, I saw the US occupation as a positive, because I know what the Talibans are like. Regarding the report, wright or wrong, the fact remains that production is on the record levels. Also the drug addiction in Afghanistan itself is on record levels. I think the coalition is turning the blind eye on the poppy cultivation, because its not ready to tackle the social problem, but this is wrong, its destroying Afghanistan which has over a million opium users and it is also making the drug more accessible in other countries.

Aghan official says US strikes killed 22 civilians
How about the UN? Cultivation: An estimated 7,606 hectares (Ha) of opium poppy was cultivated in Afghanistan during the 2001 season. This represents a reduction in total poppy area of 91% compared to last year’s estimate of 82,172 Ha. Helmand Province, the highest cultivating province last year with 42,853 Ha, recorded no poppy cultivation in the 2001 season. Nangarhar, the second highest cultivating province last year with 19,747 Ha is reported to have 218 Ha this year. Almost all major former poppy growing provinces had no poppy or relatively small areas under cultivation this year. The reductions are clearly the result of the implementation of the opium poppy ban. http://www.unodc.o rg/pdf/afg/report_ 2001-10-16_1.pdf In 2001 they produced 185 tons of raw opium, in 2007 they produced 8.200 tons of opium or 93% of worlds consumption. Is this enough? (Sunday Jul 6 | post #18)
Iraqi says terrorism in country defeated
More and more I think that the attack on Iraq was only a preparation for an attack on Iran. And if it went smoothly Iran would be attacked already in the Bush term. I think this, because Iran was already attacked by US indirectly through Saddams Iraq, then the US and Saddam were the best of friends. After the Iraq/Iran war our-Slovenian engineers were working in Iraq rebuilding it (I can add here, they were payed good money), they liked the country and they did not notice oppression against the Shia. The trouble began after when the Shia started protests few years later against his government. He suppressed the protests in violence. Kurds are another story. Supported by Iran they rebelled in force against his government, they killed almost 10.000 of Iraqi troops and his revenge was really bloody. I wish that Kurds will once come to forming their own country, but my wishes will not be enough. Today they have almost independent state in Iraq, but this is not something the neighbours are supporting. Kurdistan is a state which will if it is born will have large parts of Iraq, Iran, Turkey and Syria. This is why Turkey is already attacking the Kurds inside of Iraq. Kurds could be a cause for a major conflict in this area. (Sunday Jul 6 | post #41)
Aghan official says US strikes killed 22 civilians
I just wrote how the things are in Afghanistan, a country who nobody occupied for a long and nobody left victorious. They all went home with bloody noses. Honestly I saw the US occupation of Afghanistan when it happened as a positive thing, because I know what kind of people are US former friends the Taliban. I also see that coalition did nothing to stop the production of heroin, even more the production now is at all time record levels. While the Taliban reduced the production almost to zero.
