If the U.S. pulls out of Afghanistan, how will the people throw off the hated Taliban for a secular democratic regime when they couldn't do it before? Why doesn't she wait for the U.S. to destroy the Taliban and then pull out? I guess she considers them just as bad, which they could never be, so there's her mistake, sorry.

Our troops are also in Afghanistan. She's right. US financed a lot of warlords and druglords to take over regions before we went in. Now those warlords ain't better than the Taliban.

That's why she says that Afghan has to fight 2 regimes, that one sponsored by NATO and the other that Taliban. A lot of those warlords (friends of bin Laden) are still on the payroll of the US.

Look Asia is a fast growing economical region. NATO countries want to get in control.

@Brulluhman

well it's not jsut that they are not better than the Taliban they are million times worse..

[Brulluhman]

@xMaXiMuSx That's why the west should look at the reason why those warlords are succesfull. War costs us a lot of money, because of a bunch of junkies in the west. Afghanistan is providing the ingredients for heroïn. That's all. Now when you want to take their power from them, the west should reconsider their drug policy.

A hundred meters from here I've got a free heroin give away point. Keeps the dealers away, junkies don't rob others but seen as sick people. It's effective.

@historyscoper

us military allow druglords to come back at the power so he doesn t change anything for afghans.

"(War is) a racket. A few profit - and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war."

"I spent most of my time (in the military as) a high class muscle-man for Wall Street. I was a gangster for capitalism."

"TO HELL WITH WAR!"

Quotes from the 1935 pamphlet 'War is a Racket' written by Major General Smedley Butler, United States Marine Corps, one of only 20 soldiers to twice be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

i feel sorry for her as well because one day she will realize how she was played as a pawn by those who do not have any good intentions for afghanistan. her speeches are so memorized and repetitive, typical propaganda talk fed to her by those furthering their ideological agenda.

[abdighazi]

the bbc.pbs is government tv. can we at least agree on that, it is funded by government, and by elite foundations. They r using this woman for their own agenda , not for her own agenda, and she will realize this shortly when they cast her to the wind left with nothing, no family, no culture, nothing of her own. stateless and lost.
