The guy with the most money always wins. The rich like voting, it keeps them rich and you poor.

Oh yeah! In order to be a news reporter a woman has to have a nice set of perky breasts and a bleach blond effect. Thank you for pointing this out Rorkazak. Fucking Genius!

The bible is full of metaphorical stories. Muslims, on the other hand, believe in every word like dumb dogs. Muslims pride themselves on not being able to adapt or evolve - they disguise this inability to evolve with being faithful, complete. It's quite embarrassing to see so many grown men follow blindly with no objectivity. You're convinced that being closed minded makes you more faithful. The Crusades were 1000 years ago. You want us to revert so we're 'complete'? No, we evolved.

So brave enough to repel the Red Army, but not brave enough to actually build a society? On one hand it's "we didn't ask you for help", and the other, it's "you didn't help us rebuild". Do you or do you not need help?

[Fr33Fisting]

Ok, so let's pull all of our support from the region, permanently. You think you could have repelled the Red Army without US help? Ah, best of luck with that. We'll remember your ungratefulness next time you're in deep water and have to count on only your 'bravery' to get you out. See how that goes.

And why did you compare Bible with Koran. Bible a book that has been changed so many times that even the Christians do not know which one to believe. They made over 140 versions of the Bible, man made versions, because they think that the original Bible, the words of God probably had mistakes in it. I mean what logical reason do they have for that. At least Koran is original, no changes at all. One version, just words of God. read it before you say anything about it. A complete religion.

The extra subject we had, they used to teach us how to hold a gun, how to fire and so on. I was a little kid, I was in grade 5, I still remember, our teachers giving us guns made of wood. teaching us how to run, how to duck, how to fight, and anything you should about jihad. And when we won, the US turned their back on us, which is not unusuall. They knew that Afghanistan had saved them from the Red Army getting nearer to them. But still left us alone, in a destructed country.

[faridafghan1]

Afghans never asked for your help. Not when the Red Army was there and not now. The US made excuse to invade Afghanistan. They did, but I hope they get out of there as soon as possible, because they went to the wrong place this time. It is called The Empires Graveyard. I hope no one dies there, young American and Canadian soldiers, who think they are fighting for freedom, while they are only fighting a religious war. Evangalical Christian waging war on Islam to root it out.

Russian lost Afghan war politcally. And without Afghans there would not have been the United States anymore, because the Red Army wanted to get to the waters. We Afghans stopped them, as we had stopped the British Empire, The Mongolian Empire and so on. And yeah I can show you the books that were published to teach us about Jihad, we actually had an extra subject called Training for Jihad, no body was saying anything, because we had the US backing. And now they call any jihadi a terrorist.

[Fr33Fisting]

The US lost Vietnam politically. You think American soldiers didn't show courage in Vietnam? Afghans fought for their country proudly against Russia, but don't be deluded into thinking Russia turned back because of Afghan bravery. They kept getting shot down by weapons smuggled in by AMERICANS. Bravery alone against Russia was a total, utter slaughter without even a whimper from Afghan's remaining army. Afghans deserve respect for fighting bravely, but it could not have been done without US help

[Fr33Fisting]

Pardon me for respecting the world's superpowers, but while muslims and other euroweenies are frothing in the old cliche of anti-US hobbyism, what has the rest of the world done to help those who suffer genocide? Oh, that's right, nothing. The UN would ignore the entire earth into extinction. You hate the UN for letting the US do what it wants? I hate the UN and these protesters for ONLY caring about what the US or Israel does. Hypocrites, losers, sulks. Ungrateful, self righteous and pathetic.

[Fr33Fisting]

Complaining about freedoms in Afghanistan from the UK, all the while wishing those who are freeing Afghans from religious rule, to be 'defeated'. I think Afghans have delusions of grandeur in regards to how self-reliant and powerful they are. Such talk from one of the most pathetic nations of the last several hundred years. How about running water, a free press and voting, before you complain about the legitimacy of the school books and the stench of US troops dying for your freedoms. Losers.
