As I was thinking about Afghanistan my thoughts slipped away and I started to think about Rambo 3.
Some how strange how Afghanis and Moslems are portrayed now and back then. Rambo was helping the good guys the Afghani Mudschaheddin fight against the evil.
But nowadays a majority of the people portray the Afghanis as the Evil Empire, strange new world.
I am not very familiar with Afghanistan. But what I know about Afghanistan is that people should not Demonize all Afghanis.
Afghanistan itself is just another tragic example of a small country being manipulated by outside powers.
Back in the 80s when the Afghanis were fighting against the UdSSR America pumped 3Billion Dollars into the Islamic Afghani Mudschaheddin you sing them to fight of the Evil Commis. Knowing that religious belief was the most effective weapon against Communism.(Even back then Bin Laden was known to the CIA)

After the UdSSR withdrew from Afghanistan the Americans quickly lost interest in Afghanistan and left the country to its own ,then a Civil war started in Afghanistan that lasts till today.
It is known that Pakistan openly supports the Taliban with fighters ,fuel and equipment.
It is also strange to see Pakistan and America working together nowadays, even if the Northern Alliance warns America that you can not trust the Pakistanis because they are the ones keeping the Taliban in business .That?s the sad part about the whole business the Northern Alliance has been asking the World and the West for assistance since years but nobody cared.
I know that the Northern Alliance hate the Pakistani and Bin Laden and his Ultra Islamic Arab followers because they see them as Foreign trouble makers fueling the civil War and helping
Afghanistan being destroyed and weakened by the Taliban. If you compare the Afghani Northern Alliance with the Taliban you can say that the Taliban are stone age Aliens. The Northern Alliance even have Women in high political positions. They Northern Alliance is accepted by the European Union all Embassies are from them. Has you might have heard the Afghani Northern Alliance even wants to fight side by side with the Americans. But I think the Americans will oversee them in favor for the Pakistanis, is that not some how strange?

The Russians openly support the Anti Taliban opposition because the Taliban are known to train Radical Islamic groups that pour into Islamic Russians parts and also becuase the Pakistani?s get support from China. And it is also important to know that China supports Pakistan and that the Russia support India because India and Pakistan hate themselves.
(That?s why India gives medical assistance to the Northern Alliance.)
The only reason for the support for of two countries is because China and Russia don?t like themselves either. The funny thing about Pakistan and China is that even that Pakistan is Muslim State it does not stop them from taking support from China even if China is a Commi State and that China is known for oppressing brutally Muslims or any other religious opposition.


As you can see Afghanistan is just a victim and playing ground for the interest of outside powers, so you can not pinpoint the Afghani people as being the masters of evil just because they have a forced Regime that?s kept alive buy outside Powers.
Afghanistan is the soil of a Replacement-war for others, that is the true problem!

It's hard not to feel bad for the Afghans. They are not people you want to mess with on their own turf, but as far as I know they've never caused trouble for anyone who didn't come looking for it. Currently it's a pretty pathetic place.

I hope GW wises up and doesn't start bombing them. It's only going to make things worse and has no hope of helping. The type of war you need to beat guys like these is the quiet, dirty kind, not the Desert Storm kind. We need to bide our time and strike when we are good and ready, and when we have a target to hit. If it takes a year or 5 years, so be it.

Man i dunno what to think anymore,other than that i am losing faith in humankind in general.I love my country,and try my best to love my fellow american.This whole situation is terrible from many sides,but we have had our hand forced for good or bad,and must go to war.An attack on our soil and the thousands lost is the worst slap in the face ive ever seen to our country and our pride,if any good apsect can be seen in this,it is the fact that we seem to be united behind a cause,which has put aside our petty internal bickering for the time being.
I look at the sky differently now,as i do the flag and the beauty that is America,with a new found sense of appreciation of just how great a nation this is,and how easily we as citizens can at times take it for granted.

then again,im just an idiot,typing on a pc,nevertheless this atrocity has been sobering for me to say the least.Things that seemed important before,have become a non factor.And i cant speak for everybody but i know ill never feel the same.


that said,lets hope for the best,and hope that this nation makes an example out of these bastards,whoever and wherever they maybe.
