The problem is we can't leave Afghanistan if we leave now it will be the same situation as when the Soviets left the PDPA at the mercy of the Taliban in 1989.
I think the purpose of British troops in Afghanistan is pointless, because if Gordon Brown is saying its due to the threat of terrorism, then why were the 7/7 terrorist attacks carried out by home grown muslims, rather than those from Afghanistan. Also 2 of the 7/7 terrorists went to Al Qaeda camps months before the act and those camps weren't in Afghanistan, but in Pakistan's Waziristan region. So whats the point of troops in Afghanistan ? The biggest threat is home grown radical islam !!!
yeah I mean if you can plan a teeorist attack in Leeds then war seems a bit futile, it should be up to the police to stop acts of terror not the army, however I do worry about the taliban getting close to pakistan's warheads.
The Afghan Taliban were supported by Pakistan, to have a pro-pakistani government in Afghanistan. Its only when the Americans and NATO alliance went into Afghanistan, that the americans forced the Pakistanis to distance itself from the Taliban. That basically led to some members to form a Pakistani Taliban group to fight against the Pakistani government, who they felt betrayed them. So in other words if the taliban gets closer to the warheads then thats the fault of the government of Pakistan.
@nbarrett100 I would agre on the subject of Pakistani Nukes, but seriously countries like india/pakistan or north korea don't need the bloody things when such a large number of their populations live in poverty.
Can I just say that this part of one of your comments is well funny!! Its ridiculous.
"ur Royals make the UK look backwards and medieval"
The "K" in the UK stands for "Kingdom" (I'm sure you know that). So how can The Royals make a Present day Kingdom look "backwards and medieval". A Kingdom in 2009 is a Modern Kingdom. It cant be made to look anything other then Modern.
What a patronizing and pretentious argument. "too young to Appreciate them". Do you think all republicans are 18? Richard Dawkins, Tony Benn, Christopher Hitchens, Morrissey and Benjamin Zephaniah almost all of them are in their 50's or older and all are republicans like me.
you failed to answer my points just said "Well if that's what you believe then, fill your boots. " and talked down to me about my age.
The reason I talk down to you is because your points are so childish.
All country's have some sort of Pomp and ceremony. May it be China, France EVEN!!! The US has ceremony's where the governing body stops debating important decisions to acknowledge there country's heritage.
Your points make you sound like a little spoiled brat who wants something he cant have.
Stop whining, lap it up and start enjoying your country's Heritage.
Don't be be so condescending and judgmental. Ive showed you that its just people like me who see the royal family as waste of time. You just come back with childish ad-hominem attacks. Who you to call me "a little spoiled brat" just because I hold a political opinion. you Don't mind prince Harry using our tax money to party with a helicopter but if I question his role i'm "a brat". Your the one who needs to grow up and learn how to debate. I want an apology for your offensive assumptions.
That's my point. Elected figureheads of Places are so unpredictable. Some have made very murky symbols of the Country's they are fronting and some have ruined them.
That's what makes the Monarch such a great figure head.
For a start its draconian by its very nature, you have to be an anglican christian to be in it, thats not modern multi-cultured Britain its apartheid. It is also the opposite of merit and aspiration and also devalues intelligence and education if any idiot can be king, no qualifications necessary.
Yes Obama is a Symbol of The U.S. and so was George W Bush. Your old mate Hitler was elected.
The Monarch is and has always been the Symbol of our country. Our Symbol is always viewed as a good one. No matter what Shyster we are tricked into electing at the ballot box.
Your just too young to understand. Even Johnny Rotten grew up and changed his mind and so will you.
The problem is we can't leave Afghanistan if we leave now it will be the same situation as when the Soviets left the PDPA at the mercy of the Taliban in 1989.

nbarrett100 2 years ago
I have answered all of your points, you just did not like my answer so you've over looked it.
so here it is again.
Your just too young to Appreciate them . 18 is an awkward age. You will change your mind when your older.
Take care Young'un.

That's why she's irrelevant and useless. I believe every citizen of a country should be able to aspire to be head of state.
Not in an upper class plutocracy, out of touch with the every day life of British people.

Like I said you will start appreciating them when you get abit older.

Why do we need her?
What a strange question.
We dont. We only "NEED" 6 things to survive.
We "Have" a Queen because we "WANT" a Queen.
