@Bulgarisun you think the taliban is doing a good job really? Well you are wrong u stupid sack of shit. How come the women of Afghanistan don't want us to leave? ill tell you why because the talibans bullshit islamic way of governing makes it so they cant have jobs work or do anything. We are doing good. So all i can say is Fuck the Taliban there islamic retarded extremist. Good job USMC keep fucking them up. Ill be with you in a year maybe 4.

[Bulgarisun]

@slobowitz The taliban come to power and Afghans initially welcomed their takeover. That is a fact. I m cruel cuz i m saying people in afghanistan will deal whit their own problem? But the only problem is the yankes and the following dogs accept only puppet government. Anyways the yankees are losing the war and try to negotiate whit the Taliban whitout puppet president Karzai, now you know who is charge of Afghanistan.

[slobowitz]

@Bulgarisun Besides it WAS the U.S that invaded Afghanistan, BUT it is the coalition forces that are present there now. Why should the Afghan people be left to rot under a hostile government, I don't believe that you are that cruel, that you'd actually wish that.

[slobowitz]

@Bulgarisun You're in denial, I understand. The Taliban were not given control over Afghan people, they took it, so the Afghan people never asked for the Taliban to govern their country. In 1996 the Anti-taliban alliance gave up on Kabul 26.9.1996 and witdrew to the north, then theres was some fighting to and fro. Actually there were only 3 countries in the world that accepted the Taliban as the governing entity in Afghanistan, so why was that?

[Bulgarisun]

@slobowitz Mister i know everything afghan make their own choice when they let the talibans come to power in 96. They will resolve their own problem, is not a hypocrite country like usa who gonna bring to solution to afghan people. What part you dont get it ? mind your own business

[MrGlobula]

Losers use women and children to run. Hard telling what they did to them after they escaped.

[slobowitz]

@Bulgarisun No i'm not the only person to know history, but you cannot make claims on a subject you know nothing about, that's why i recommend you study it. You will benefit as a person, and may even help you to make this sad world a little bit better.

As for the Afghan people handling their troubles themselves. Do you really believe that any Afghan want to live under a totalitarian system like the Taliban? Look at it and try to reason with yourself. And I think you'll find the answer is no.

[Bulgarisun]

@slobowitz You think you are the only one who know history in that region. Afghan people will deal whit their own problem that all. And is not the foreign force will solve the problem of Afghanistan so keep you side solution for you.

[slobowitz]

@Bulgarisun it's not my side of history, I think you'd benefit a lot if you educate yourself a little in that area, history can teach us a lot if we only bother to look.

I know a great deal about the Afghan people, not everything, but one thing I know (the most important one) is that they are human beings, and as such want to live their lives in peace. I cannot believe that you would not agree to that?

[Bulgarisun]

@slobowitz Dont come here and talk about you side of history ok, they soviet said the same things so keep you "supposed" history for you. What do you know about afghan people ?
