The US military has killed MANY more innocents than the Taliban !!!!

[THEKRIA]

30000 more troops, 30000 more targets for Talibans

afghanistan is a graveyard for so called superpowers.

@angryscowl

That's a filthy slander with absolutely no evidence nor precedent to back it up.

i frequently travel around the world, and believe me, when i see children playing and having fun everywhere, i laugh and cry at the same time.. i laugh at their happy faces, flushed with excitement.. the best scene in the world.. but i cry when the faces of innocent pukhtoon children, reddened with their blood flashes through my mind.. why so much injustice? is there any difference between a palestanian and an american child? why so ruthlessness? y so cruelty? inhumanity? why? why? why?

@oceanbound222 both are allies my friend.. talibans work for US agencies.. just look at their operations, they just terrorise the civileans, like US army or pakistani army do.. they provide valid reasons to USA, India to stay in afghanistan and pak army in Tribal area of pakistan. the only victims are the PUKHTOONS.. we ve been killed by US, INDIA, PAKISTAN ARMY and TALIBANS.. the sky is very far and the earth is so hard for us... our children are same as american or british children..

Thanks Nir for not Buying the Idea of the Filthy Main stream Media which Pig heads Americans/English buy so easily into !

[rachelgolem]

Dear Nir, I would like express my deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved Osama.

[rarosera]

He also says 'we have given Iraqies a chance to 'shake' their future.' wtf?

[rarosera]

Listen to Obama again at 7:33, he actually says, 'We are bringing the Iraq war to an irresponsable end.' Google 'sleight of mouth' to see why and how this is done.

@THEKRIA

I am grown up, im the one who bases his opinions on what the facts say, you on the other hand do not, you also reduce yourself to making childish insults when someone points out the errors that you are making.

Again the evidence shows most afghans see the war as being right and that their lives are better now than they were, this is shown by d3 systems, oxfam and john hopkins.

History also shows that you are wrong to claim that afghanistan is a graveyard for empires.
