Subject: RE: BS: Afghan War mistake or wise
Now at what point in time MGOH did UNAMA threaten to harm anyone in Afghanistan?

As for: "No point talking as if there was some enormous moral gulf between the people doing the killing and the dying on both sides."

What colour is the sky on your planet Kevin?

Tell me when PGF in Afghanistan have used the civilian population as human shields?

Tell me when PGF in Afghanistan have mined areas period, let alone mine areas where they know the local civilian populations will work or walk?

Tell me when PGF in Afghanistan deliberately and knowingly target civilians?

Tell me if the Taleban have rules of engagement?

Two-thirds of all civilians killed in Afghanistan are killed by the Taliban. If the Taliban stopped fighting tomorrow there would be no deaths in Afghanistan because the conflict would end.

They are not "freedom fighters" fighting to free their country from a foreign invader. They are a bunch of thugs looking for a pay day that they previously took at the point of a gun and then lost.

Disagree with you Kevin in Afghanistan there is a whale of a "moral gulf between the people doing the killing and the dying on both sides".
