'There may be trouble ahead', and I'm not singing :-(
« on: March 12, 2012, 06:30:52 PM »
Afghans demand US soldier be brought to trial. Taliban vow revenge.
What the soldier did is wrong. Full stop.

What about the poor innocent batsards that died in the twin towers  >:(
Will the Taliban turn all the purpotraters over, like hell they will  :(

Totally disagree - what have the Taliban got to do with bringing down the towers?

America invaded Afghanistan and have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children - what about them?
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

I stand corrected,
Twas Al'qaeda and Bin Laden the USA were after for the towers. Based on . . .  Info?

I've been reading these links. About as reliable as the Sun newspaper.

Whoever was behind twin towers it does not justify the bombing of all those innocent civilians.

Maybe those sentiments should have been passed onto Blair pre Iraq.

Why did we invade Afghanistan...I've heard them all.
To catch Al Queda...failed
To disarm the Taliiban....failed
To take peace and democracy....failed
To protect the Afghan people....failed
To destroy their drugs trade......failed
To boost the popularity of useless, egotistical, power mad, western politicians.....failed.

There's a pattern there, we should bring our lads home asap and stop all the dreadful waste.

We should also think very closely about being so closely linked to the American military, who are nothing more than an authorised rabble at times, and gets us a bad reputation too.

I do hate that when the west does something the Muslims don't like our politicians grovel on their bellies, but they can do what they want while we turn a blind eye. Take Libya, after we liberated them, they then go on to desecrate a cemetery remembering our war dead.....and how many in the west batted an eyelid at that!

My foreign policy would be F**K 'em all. If you want to be our friends we will trade with you, etc, but if you don't lets keep away from each other. Simples!

I certainly don't condone these killings by this soldier, we have yet to find out what state of mind he was in when he did this.

I think they were, best part of a million people demonstrated in London in 2003.

Blair just ignored it...

From Wikipedia: The British Stop the War Coalition (StWC) held a protest in London which it claimed was the largest political demonstration in the city's history. Police estimated attendance as well in excess of 750,000 people and the BBC estimated that around a million attended.
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Agreed, but my comment was aimed at our Labour representative, many of whom agreed with Blair before the war, only to change their minds after the event!

Bring all our boys home from everything except our normal bases overseas.
We've done what we can to "free them from tyranny", but theres no thanks.
Leave them to their own devices, let them get on with it. If they want to kill each other thats fine.
We are not the appointed World Police. OK we had lots of influence in the world back in the days of thr British Empire.
Those days have gone - we are a small island on the west of europe who can hold our own in a fight thanks. That should be enough - we do not need to take on the rest of the worlds problems as well.
Even if its simply that we can't afford it.
You don't see other "Superpowers" i.e. Russia, China,Japan, intervening in places, or even offering to help in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq,Iran, Middle East, Korea....
Bring our boys and girls back. they have done more than enough, and many have died without justification.
They are first class people, and I'd rather they be here than in the middle of somewhere inhospitable.
They could supplement Law and Order here for example, especially during the olympics. Who bets there will be a serious terrorist threat in July after what we,ve got involved with in World conflicts?
I certainly would not be surprised, particularly with our very ethnic populous in and around london.
You only have one life, so live it & love it, & more importantly LOVE YOURSELF!

Maybe they run a file-sharing website  ;D

.....................

As for suggesting I would try to justify the invasion, I went to the the Anti-War Coalition meeting held in Chesterfield prior to the invasion of Iraq and voted to oppose the war. Our MP at the time, Paul Holmes, would not commit himself when asked which way he would vote in Parliament despite claiming since he has always been anti- war
