" It took 500 years to build the European Nations States" how? Here's how.

Ransacking the so called 3rd world natural resources. Even with all the stolen property, those nations still have a big social divide. If you don't believe, look around you when you visit countries of the "1st world". ;) peace people.

Iraq war was a clusterfuck but the war is in all bases and conditions over with a conditional U.S. strategic victory. Afghanistan on the other hand is a pile of rocks and is in all instances a waste of time. If U.S. leaves with Bin Ladens head or the proxy government survives after a U.S. withdrawal then the U.S. can declare a arguable strategic victory. But if the U.S. fails to accomplish either than the extremeness win.

Consistently good interviews from RP. Who here thinks a western style of government will remain when we eventually leave—and most likely due to America's bankruptcy?

[UKSecretCourts]

Peter is one of my favourite interviewers.

Great show!

Unfortunately, Afghanistan is corrupt, has a huge illiterate population who don't even recognize their own government, is mostly roadless ,horrid ,mountainous wilderness, and the Taliban controls areas only a few miles out of Kabul.

Also,many Afghan army and police are drugged out crooks that only want a paycheck and very likely , sell info to the Taliban.

Fucking idiotic Old man, If Afghanistanis could make a decision on themselves why would they want Taliban to rule their country in the first place?.

These left wing fools really piss me off.

Any Russia is making a big mistake supporting the muslims.
