Heartrenching Quote From An Ordinary Afghanistan Citizen

[FrysInsider]

?There is no pleasure in life anyway, so I don?t care if the bombs come and I have to die along with my children,? said Leilama, a 38-year-old mother of six in Kabul. ?But the United States should know that the Afghan people are not their enemies.?

Please keep this in mind if you ever have the urge to annhilate the Arab people.

By all accounts, the normal ordinary Afghanistan citizen lives a horrible, misreable, and oppresed life due to the Taliban dicatorship.
As the quote above shows, these people are in a very bad sitatuion and they already find "normal" life unbearable.

So when/if the bomb rain down on Afghanistan, please keep these people in mind. Remember, they are not the enemy, no matter
how much their deaths may seem gratifying.

Why can't you understand that what happened tuesday was an act of war and something needs to be done? Nobody wants innocent people to die. Part of war is that there are casualties,and many are civilian. Take a look at the 5000 we just lost and stop thinking so much about the Afgans.

 

[FrysInsider]

veryape WTF?

I fully understand what happend on 9/11 don't ever question thar. I have at least 3 friends who I have not heard from yet!!

I am simply trying to show compassion for innocent people. What is so bad about trying to show compassion for INNOCENT Afghans?

<< Why can't you understand... and stop thinking so much about the Afgans. >>



And why can't you understand that it is not in our country's interests or shared moral beliefs to attack innocent people. Innocents may be hurt unintentionally during wartime but the murder of innocents is NOT something that we as a freedom loving people will condone.

Join the Army and find a place to satisfy your blood lust. Been there, done that. No thanks anymore.

On second thought. We need to go after the perps and their accomplices/supporters. This should be a WAR on Terrorism! These groups are no better that the pirates that prayed on shipping in the last century. You may recall a part of the Marine's Anthem... "to the shores of Tripoli." We weren't at war with Egypt, we were at war with the Barbary Pirates and the marines went in to get them.

We need to go wherever these clowns are and get them there!
...russ

 

[veryape]

We may not like it but we have no choice but to condone it and I have a feeling you will see that in the next few weeks. Civilian life will be lost in the middle east and I cannot tell you honestly that it bothers me much. What bothers me are the lives lost on American soil and that is all I am concerned with.

 

[veryape]

Russ,I have no blood lust,i'm just pissed off and cannot concern myself with the people of the country where these attackers are being hidden. There would be no war if they would just give him up,but they won't so let war commence.

I expect that women and children will be used as human shields by the Taliban and Bin Laden. Hussein was doing this in Iraq. It is regrettable that people exist that can actually do that. Do I want all Arabs dead? Certainly not. Do I wish the military to avoid the critical targets that have human shields. NO! What will follow will not be pleasant to think about or look upon. It is neccessary. Hopefully by the time the plan is in place and the military is ready, The Taliban may decide that Bin Laden and crew are too expensive to harbor. Can you imagine the stress of waiting for this to begin if you are Afghan? I expect the U.S. and coalition to have better success than the British and the Russians.

 

[HowardStern]

Just as I suspected. These Afghans live miserable lives and we will be doing them a favor by anihillating them.

I try not to do this to other members very often, but have to make an exception in your case.

Howard, STFU.

Spreading crap like that will only make the situation worse. We are in for a long tought fight. The Afganis ,at the end of it all, will hopefully be our allies and friends.

 

[DevvilChickk]

I wish they would just hand over Bin Laden and his crew. I hate for more people to die.

BUT, we have to do what we have to do.

 

[Tripleshot]

I really believe our military leaders are sensitive to the condition of non combatents in Afghanistan. They are certainly aware of the loose freedom fighters of he North. It is not in the interest of the US or the coalition to smply kill every thing in sight to flush out the terrorists.

But remember,terrorists many times use non combatents as a shield to save there own skin. In the past,we have reacted by not harming the non combatent in an attempt to get the bad guy. What they are saying now is the terrorist have lost that "sheild" affect. We are coming after them, there is no place to hide.

I put full faith in our leadership to do the right thing. I also believe in Devine intervention,and pray that our leaedership will envoke prayer as they go forward with this,that a minumum of innocent souls are lost.

Now let the carnage begin!:|

<< Civilian life will be lost in the middle east and I cannot tell you honestly that it bothers me much. >>



So I guess it doesn't bother you that 5000 people died in New York.

What you are saying is that American humans are worth more that Afghan humans.

 

[DevvilChickk]

Human life is equal. If we end up killing people because of a war, that is one thing, but all life is valuable, all life is precious.

 

[Wag]

<< Human life is equal. If we end up killing people because of a war, that is one thing, but all life is valuable, all life is precious. >>



Are those who think otherwise deserving of this treatment?

??????

<< What you are saying is that American humans are worth more that Afghan humans. >>



Yes! When you breed like rabbits like they do in thrild world countries it does cheapen human life.

 

[Nemesis77]

People say that you have the right to bomb Afganistan and kill innocent civilans because that's where bin Laden is. Then by that logic we could say that since bin Laden has a problem with US policy, he had the right to destroy WTC. It's no difference from what some people are suggesting ("let's bomb Afganistan to stone-age!").

You have problem with bin Laden/Taleban, you have the right to bomb Afganistan and kill innocents. Then if Taleban/bin Laden has problem with US policies, then they/he had the right to destroy WTC. The door swings both ways.

It's been said over and over again: The people of Afganistan are not behind this attack! They are as much victims in this case as americans are! They are the one that are caught in the middle!

Wag:

If they aren't, then whether, who, and how many they kill is irrelevant. These people are virus that can exist only because life is sacred.

wtf?? Whats wrong with having more kids? Are you saying that if you have more kids, each of their lives are worth less than a family with only one kid?

I seriously hope you don't have children, and if you do, I feel for them.

I'd like to see you run a country with a population of 1 Billion successfully!

 

[Looney]

Dont' respond to HowardStern, he's just an ignorant moron craving for attention.

If I were running a country I would not allow overpopulation to exist. Yes, the more of something that there is, the less it's worth. Doesn't matter if it's widgets or people. Just simple economics.

 

[Moonbeam]

Howard Stern, I can imagine few lives cheeper than those represented by the sentements you express. It's sad to see someone like you who has so little self love as to have no resource from which to draw a sense of the value of life. Please listen to etech.

 

[SSP]

If we bomb civilian targets, then we are no better then the terrorists them selves.

HowardStern, How old are you? 13? For the second time... STFU!

EDIT - Also I know you don't have the balls to do what you say. Your just some punk kid behind a computer.

 

[HowardStern]

<< wtf?? Whats wrong with having more kids? >>



Overpopulation is a problem (worldwide). We are getting a bit off topic here. Afghanistan has about 25 million people in it. Almost all of them are destitute.

 

[Nemesis77]

>>



So, should we congratulate bin Laden for doing his part in reducing overpopulation?
