[mahaif]

u stole everything from our country from 47-71 nd left our country in a big mass but still we are doing well. within 20 years we will surpass ur porkistan. but after 20 years later ther wont be any pak so the only people will remain with u are the people of heera mandi.

you live in canada with your big mouth good stay there!! when our new generations fix Afghanistan it will be open to Afghan people who lived there for century's!! you are welcome ofc but there will be laws to respect every citizen in our Afghan land.

So miss Constable says war journalism is much more dangerous post 911 to journalists and civilians because of all these "bombings"(i.e.d's, insurgent surprise attacks, etc) going off when you least expect it. Fact is the bombings from the USA imperialist forces in Iraq and Afghanistan makes these "terrorist" bombings minuscule to the civilians who number in the hundreds of thousands dead "collateral damage". What a corporate media whore. She is a mouse and a liar compared to Robert Fisk.

o bangla dude, koolboyf . . . reality is combi of disorganised fekup on grand scale . . . paki mulla fanatics fighting their war, pashtuns hanging on their afghanistan, Nrthn Allliance tajiks uzbeks wanting to assert their hopes and ambitions in AFG, paktalibs blindly following their mullas, corrupt afghans making money out of mayhem, amriki wanting a scapegoat to crush invisible enemy, indians getting their bit in against pakis by siding with afghans - there's no plan, every1 for themselves

[Koolboyf]

@mahaif I am an afghan and I totally agree with you, it is those motherf****** pakis that are creating the fucking talibans and brain washing them and sending them to fight in Afghanistan, wipe the fucking pakis from the world map,
