Subject: RE: BS: Has Afghanistan become another Vietnam?
Afghanistan is worse than Vietnam. It's a longer war and even more futile exercise of domination and power.

Josep, from your rant and tirade I would advocate that you know even less about the Afghan people. I would much more respect the word of Jeremy Scahill who has reported on them.

The reason that the Afghan people have no peace in their country is because the U.S. has mistakenly invaded them and slaughtered men, women and children who were innocent civilians. I'm so glad that Wikileaks has revealed the true nature of the Afghanistan debacle.

The Afghan people were able to rule themselves perfectly well before the US decided to "nation build" and conquer them. Their society is longer than America or England.
To say that they "have no concept of fairness" is a prejudiced piece of right-wing nut-job
chauvinism that shows little compassion for an oppressed people.

Josep, I don't know where you're coming from but your statements about Afghanistan can be easily discredited.

BTW when you say they look upon "us" with contempt, who are you talking about,
Kimosabe?
