Japan?

We never occupied Japan like we're occupying Iraq.

Following WWII, we couldn't give less of a @$!@$ if countries were democratic. All we cared about was containing communism.

Son, stay in school and learn.

The US didn't really give a fuck about communism or the people suffering under exremist regimes, it was the FUCKING COLD WAR, read up on it son, democracy WAS the wests warcry and in the end, even though because of the likes or you, Democracy is prevalent in the former Soviet Union. You can't really argue with that, dipshit.

Then again, you were not even born when the wall fell, were you?

Um... we did occupy Japan after WWII. We actually restructured their entire society after WWII and we have military bases there to this day.

What?

The entire US policy revolved around fighting communism. Vietnam anybody?

or the people suffering under exremist regimes

That's completely different.

it was the FUCKING COLD WAR, read up on it son, democracy WAS the wests warcry and in the end, even though because of the likes or you, Democracy is prevalent in the former Soviet Union.

Uhh..uh?

Edit: But an understatement.

I'll like to second this and simultaneously preserve it for posterity.

The Soviet Union, a neighbor of Afghanistan, invaded the country and occupied it for 10 years with over 100,000 troops and ended up losing the war.

The United States and her allies invade and occupy Afghanistan with 35,000 troops and are still fighting six years on.

If a superpower neighbor with a higher troop count couldn't bring Afghanistan to her will, what hope do we have?

The thread title is inflammatory, as is the OP's intent, however, I think its wrong to not denounce the court/system which brought about this conviction. I really can't see even Muslims thinking that this is how they'd like to live.

An Afghan reporter sentenced to death after downloading an article from the internet on women's rights has said his trial lasted just four minutes.

Pervez Kambaksh, 23, told the UK's Independent newspaper from his prison cell he was denied access to a lawyer and not allowed to defend himself.

The international outcry against this is the good thing, and necessary for our collective progress.

http://www.independent.co.uk/n...h-sentence-776783.html

The United Nations, human rights groups, journalists' organisations and diplomats urged Mr Karzai's government to quash the death sentence and release him.

Instead, on Wednesday, the Afghan senate passed a motion confirming the death sentence. The MP who proposed the ruling condemning Mr Kambaksh was Sibghatullah Mojadedi, a key ally of Mr Karzai.

In London David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, told The Independent that Britain had raised Mr Kambaksh's case as a member of the European Union and with the United Nations, as well as strongly supporting a call by the UN special representative to Afghanistan for a review of the verdict.

Well, i am IN Afghanistan NOW, and i know what i'm doing here, i'm protecting the people against the radical Muslims but according to Noobtastic there is no difference between the two so i'm confused, what should i trust, over ten years of experience of dealing with people and knowing what we have done or a 16 year old who has a fetish for killing Muslims... hummm... tough fucking choice.

Shut the FUCK UP, the war is done, what is left is troops coming through Pakistan and attacking, there are people fleeing to Afghanistan from Pakistan today.

We aren't fighing a war in Afghanistan, we are keeping Afghanistan safe from the Pakistan protected troops, that is it.

And if they don't give us access and won't deal with it themselves then shit like the last CIA hit won't be a one time thing either.

See, we are doing great as long as the Pakis keep their fucking terrorists to themselves or let us deal with them.
