the end is near and whoever conquers the holy land will be to blame... any questions?

[ericthena88]

To anybody that still believes that this or any of the conflicts are about the people (practices beliefs tactics), you are a fool. this is about terrain, the land has powerful relics as well as resources. the people arent fighting, they are fighting back against invasion. they are defending their home and protecting ancient powers from falling into the hands of the fat and greedy. watch rambo 3, look up Solomon's ring, read the damn quron, try to think.

@Omer698

But their islamic beliefs and way of life, such as oppression of woman, becoming part of their culture, is so flawed, the only way it can be corrected is by force. I believe in correction by force, call me evil, call me sick in the head, I believe its the only way it can be done. Stalinist Realism.

@CharlesVariations force atheism and get rid of their beliefs, this is why the Taliban deserve to win

[CharlesVariations]

The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was a good thing because they were going to take it over and modernize it, put women in schools, and force atheism upon them and get rid of their islamic beliefs.

America's invasion was also right, in trying to kill bin laden. However, the middle east conflict has since taken illegal operations starting with afghanistan. The middle east conflict will always be illegal.

five trillion cubic meter of gas reserves,gold reserves,uranium reserves and much more in unexplored reserves in afghanistan were the reason for soviet occupation and the same reason that brought anglo-europeans over there.Europeans would be given a bone or two by americans after things get stablised in afghanistan.
