Lowkey on Afghanistan pt. 1

We are here today to talk about an invasion, an occupation, a war which has ravaged a country whose history is littered with foreign interference. Opposing the war in Iraq did not mean you were automatically pro Saddam, if anyone was pro Saddam that was Ronald Reagan and his administration. Opposing the war in Afghanistan does not make you pro Al Qaeda, if anyone could be called pro Al Qaeda, with all due respect for his current position regarding Palestine, it would be Jimmy Carters administration and the director of the CIA at the time Robert Gates, a man who currently serves as Obamas Defence Secretary. Opposing the war in Afghanistan does not make you pro Taliban, if anyone was pro Taliban it was Condoleezza Rice and her cohorts at the oil company UNOCAL. The Taliban themselves were orphans of the Afghan war with the Russians in which Al Qaeda were backed by the CIA under both Jimmy Carters and Ronald Reagans administrations.

Nobody in there right mind could deny the Talibans hideous oppression of women but it didnt start on September 11th 2001, their horrendous regime was in power long before. When Bush and Blair tried to justify this war, all of a sudden womens rights in Afghanistan were so very important. Women in Afghanistan were persecuted prior to September 11th and are still subject to persecution on a daily basis today under the clearly un democratic Karzai regime which the Americans and the British are currently so steadfast in supporting. Condoleezza Rice and UNOCAL were not concerned about the women of Afghanistan when they were sitting at the table with the Taliban negotiating lucrative Oil deals. Besides, in a last minute attempt to avoid invasion and regime change, at the hands of a foreign power (which is illegal under International Law) the Taliban offered Osama bin Laden to the Americans, however despite this, the invasion and occupation still went ahead. As if the American government have a monopoly on morality, as if the American government differentiate morally when looking for business partners, it has never been about creating a moral government; its about creating a government that is open to manipulation and willing to do business. The American government, like the British government know Hamid Karzai is corrupt, they know they have installed a bunch warlords and drug lords. Karzais own brother is a very well known drug lord with his fingers all over the Heroin trade in that country. For the record in the first year of the occupation the Heroin production in that country increased 1000% and now accounts for over 90% of the Heroin on Britains streets today. The largest amount of Heroin coming out of Afghanistan was from the Helmand province, which interestingly was the area the highest numbers of British troops were occupying, make of that what you will. If the occupying forces really had an interest in helping the Afghan people, they would put in place a system whereby the Opium produced in the country could be used all over the world for strictly medicinal purposes thus giving the country a massive and legitimate source of income from its poppy fields.

There is nothing noble, romantic or righteous about this occupation. While the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq is widely regarded to have been a mistake, there are still those in this country who attempt to argue that this war in Afghanistan is somehow a legitimate war for the good of humanity. As if any government, particularly our government has ever gone to war in the interests of humanity.

@AlphaKennyBody2 im not as relegious as when i was a kid. so until i submit to Allah and pray again, i do what i like. but to be honest, drinking and smoking is probably the only bad thing i do otherwise i always do good and be good to others for the sake of Allah. i rather harm myself then to anyone else.

[AlphaKennyBody2]

@FuckDaMedia Ok, better comment. But one thing, how old are you? And when you say "I must of been drunk", you do understand that alcohol is forbidden in Islam? So i have a hard to believing you after the first sentence you typed..come on man, you should know better.

[FuckDaMedia]

@AlphaKennyBody2 hey bro i jsut looked at my comment and i admitt its stupid, i seriosly dont remember that at all i must of been drunk.

i do know how to pray since i attended arabic school as a kid and im arab so yeah i can read the quran.

Islam means peace and the government twisted that word into terrorism. so as a muslim, it angers me greatly especially knowing that 9/11 and 7/7 was set up by them. but also islam is about patience and forgiveness.

[AlphaKennyBody2]

@FuckDaMedia Your comment is senseless and so ignorant. Islam is not to be shown as something of anger, you might as well go join Obama and Karzai. So the works "fuck" and "islam" don't go together. I bet you don't even know how to pray 5 times a day, nor do you know how to read the Quran, otherwise you would have the most respect for the religion Islam. I'm ashamed someone like you is running around giving our religion bad.

On another note, Karzai needs to be killed along with his business.
