Poll: do you support the afghan war

[TheAngryMonkey]

over and out

 

[tthor]

don't we now have a politics/religion forum for this type of stuff?

i support the war, because Afghanistan has nuclear arms, and if the taliban gets hold of those arms, we are f-cked

 

[Wibble]

I have just one thing to say to the poster of this thread; you, sir, are an absolute asshole. For one, the support of any war is just plain wrong. Yes, the collapse of the Twin Towers was a tragedy. However The American army have caused, directly or indirectly, the death of between 200,000 to 1.5 million civillians. Please, try and justify that.

 

[Wibble]

Ah, yes some one who is referring to the Afgan/Russian War. When no one was going to come to the aid of the Afgans, who were being wiped out. To the point where America had to import donkeys, because the entire countries supply was wiped out trying to move munitions and food. The only country to help them was the asshole Americans.(note the Sarcasm) Supplying them with 3/4 of a billion dollars in aid, then when their aid after the war was reduced to 1/4 billion(because they don't need to buy loads of guns,RPGS, and ammo), it was death to America; death to the infidel. Lets not forget all the hospitals and women that were allowed to be nurses and professionals during the time. But as everyone says it was Americas fault that, the native Taliban went around destroying all the hospitals and re-enslaving the women. The Afgans fucked up their own country why cant anyone get that through their head, by the end of the war they had modern hospitals, new schools, and close political ties to the most powerful country on the planet. So what do they do, tell America to go fuck themselves because their not getting all the free money they want. The red cross followed the Taliban around for months after the war pleading with the Taliban not to destroy the infrastructure built during the war. And once enough of the red cross people were killed they left too.

I would like to point something out to you. The americans were the ones that set up the Taliban. During the Cold War, the american government provided money, training and arms to the Taliban in return for them being a "secret" force against Russia. Also, in order for the Taliban to support themselves, the US gave them opium popies to grow and sell on the international drug market. So, really, the americans caused their own problem.
By-the-way, you should have learned about this in grade 11 social studies.

i support the afghan mission, as providing humanitarian aid to affected civilians is a worthy cause. as well, as the taliban is the one doing the affecting, it is also worthy that they should be dealt with (i.e. chucking a few bullets at them)

A few bullets, okay, fair enough. However, the us army isn't chucking bullets. Their chucking fucking bombs! Mostly at places full of civillians. Real Hummanitarian...

 

[Wibble]

It would also help if the politicians would keep their fucking noses out of it and fight to win.

Um, don't you think it would be better to solve the whole thing by diplomacy like civilized people? I was taught this in kindergarten "Use your words, children." I think you need a refresher course.

I support finally finishing it. It started in 2001 after 911. It was diverted to Iraq for a reason we will never officially know the truth of. As a result we did not have the resources to complete the stated mission in AFG. It just lingered. Giving our enemy an oppertunity to hide and evade.

The Bush admin diverted resources from Afganistan to fight in Iraq instead of just finishing in AFG first. Even at the time the Bush Amin was putting forth Iraq it smelled of BS.

I support it because of the idea that that is where Al Queda operates from with the indulgence of the Taliban.

But now, it is unclear where the Al Queda/Taliban lines are really drawn on the map now. When they were in one spot, diverting resources from them to Iraq may have allowed them to decentrailise. As a result; there may not be enough Al Queda/Taliban left in AFG to make a difference if/when victory is declared.

That is the Bush Admin's fault for letting them slip away, especially when they claimed responsibility for 911 and we had international support for that war at the time. At least compared to Iraq on international support.

I am republican, I voted for Bush. I am fully dissapointed in his decisions on AFG. I do hold his admin accountable for its continued failure.

Obama's attempt to finish it, may not have success as we see for wars because Bush allowed the enemy to disperse.

As a Republican I am dissapointed in the Bush admins whole mid-east policy.

They don't want to talk, they want to kill us (unless your Muslim). I think you need a reality check.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I don't agree with the invasion, but I don't the we can just leave.

Well, you fuck up their countries and expect them to be nice to you. Someone need a reality check.

Oh, and I support the Afghan War, mainly because the taliban spend more time hurting their people rather than their 'enemies'.

 

[historybuff]

This goes in the Politics and Religion forum.

And NO. I don't support the war. Something needed to be done, yes, but Bush went about it completely wrong. And now we're fucked and everyone hates us.

Dude, Ive never done anything to them except call my God by a different name and have a life.

Sorry I'm white.

 

[cainx10a]

No, I do not support it. Although I can't say that I really care.

I don't see it doing too much good, but hell, if they nuked the hell out of some illiterate religious shithole I'd be only happy. Sucks to be the innocents, though.

what would be your definition of innocent in afghanistan? non-muslim? non-arab? non-afghan? atheist afghan?

 

[Sgtkillalot0]

Only war I support is the war for peace.
