Anti-U.S. sentiment rising in Afghanistan.
Afghan civilians “increasingly resent the unending war, especially its rising toll in civilian lives–and they don’t hesitate to blame America and its multinational allies. Anti-U.S. rallies in the towns of Shindand and Jalalabad each drew more than a thousand protesters last week, and Afghan President Hamid Karzai once again declared that his government can no longer tolerate the deaths of so many innocent Afghans.”

Why don’t they like unending war? Freedom is on the march. Or so I heard. What do they have agianst that? They must be pro-terrorist. Very troubling

Kill everything, Kill everything… that’s not enough

May 7th, 2007 at 1:20 pmBushCo. is only interested in the pipelines running through Afghanistan. Why not withdraw to the pipeline corridore, draw boundaries, and create a new country called Unocalistan.

May 7th, 2007 at 1:24 pmof course!! this is JUST what happens when you use force to try to solve “problems”…gain advantages, or deal with anything in foreign policy. Eventually, you’ll just create more hatred and thus, more attacks against yourself.
sound familiar?
A pretty good read on this:

More fuel to fire the liberals’ hatred of their own country. As the posts through the day will evince…

Karzai will have to become a dictator
to stop the taliban winning
May 7th, 2007 at 1:31 pmThe people of Afghanistan have suffered with unending war for nearly thirty years. Soviet invasion, civil war, Taliban, U.S. bombs. When will these people be able to live without constant bloodshed?
May 7th, 2007 at 1:35 pmBut don’t forget that back in the early 1980s, President Reagan and our lovely CIA supported and armed those Afghanis that didn’t take to the Soviet puppet government ruling their country back some twenty years ago. Why should Afghanis today care for the American puppet Mayor of Kabul (former Union Oil Company executive and CIA operative) trying to run their lives?
In the last several hundred years, no foreign western power (Britain, Russia or USA) has successfully occupied Afghanistan.
US out of Afghanistan. US out of Iraq. US out of Somalia (do a clusty.com or google.com web search on “Conoco Somalia Ltd” for details on why C & B are involved in Somalia and Ethiopia).

Thanks for the unthinking endlessly repeated meme, troll-face. Does actual thought hurt THAT much? Go read something.
May 7th, 2007 at 2:00 pmImagine that…
May 7th, 2007 at 2:05 pmWhy won’t these people shut the fu*k up and enjoy their forced democracy.

Is this the best you can do?!? Nothing original?… Tsk, tsk.
May 7th, 2007 at 2:37 pmWhy won’t they understand that we’re killing them for their own good!?
May 7th, 2007 at 2:57 pmWhat!?
Afghanis don’t love non-ending wars!?
Well, the blind Bush followers seem to like those wars just fine. Then again, they don’t actually have to live through one and will do anything to avoid it. Which obviously won’t stop them from supporting, pushing such a war on others.
The farther, the better. Like Afghanistan or Iraq.

I’m going to say this very s-l-o-w-l-y JT — so that your tiny lizard-like brain can process and comprehend — we don’t “hate” our country — we hate the goons and traitors who’ve hijacked it for their own greed and avarice and turned it from the world’s most admired and proud democracy into nothing more than a thuggish ass-backwards banana republic. And if you can’t figure that out then you are part of the problem. So take your pathetic, reality-denying bone-headed accusations and stick ‘em up yer arse.
May 7th, 2007 at 3:47 pmWhat makes your democracy the “most admired and proud democracy” over any other democracy ….other than you being told so over and over again throughout your lives by the MSM and your mothers? AND, if it is such a good system, how did the current bunch of morons manage to hijack that system? If there are any FACTS that prove your democracy to be any better than , say, my democracy, I’d be interested in hearing them. At the very least, my democracy told your democracy to shove your Iraq attack where the sun don’t shine …..where it seems to reside now.
May 7th, 2007 at 9:17 pmGreat…another war botched. But hey, at least the war on the middle class is going well.
