    why are you ok with abandoning Afghanistan and potentially allowing the taliban back to power?

    You can only ignore the greater context for so long. When you are by yourselves, fighting endless wars, perhaps the U.S. will finally get it. Other countries aren't going to condone U.S actions by fighting forever in ineffectual wars, or in wars that are not nearly as relevent to them as they are to the U.S..

    Moreover, it isn't just the Taliban. In Afghan., somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the country actually support the Taliban. Its hardly just a few hardened terrorists. What the U.S. fails to recognize is that it has lost huge chunks of support in Afghan. and around the Middle East.

    just because (a nice made up %) of 33%-50% of people support the taliban doesnt mean it should be allowed.

    good ol taliban...just a small example....

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban_treatment_of_women

    Examples of punishments:

    * In October 1996 a woman had the tip of her thumb cut off for wearing nail varnish.[9]

    * In December 1996 Radio Shari’a announced that 225 Kabul women had been seized and punished for violating the sharia code of dress. The sentence was handed down by tribunal and the women were lashed on their legs and backs for their misdemeanor.[12]

    * In March 1997 a married woman, from Laghman Province was caught attempting to flee the district with another man. The Islamic tribunal found her guilty of adultery and condemned both her and her lover to death by stoning.[13]

    * In May 1997, 5 female CARE International employees with authorisation from the Ministry of the Interior to conduct research for an emergency feeding programme were forced from their vehicle by members of the religious police. The guards used a public address system to insult and harass the women before striking them with a metal and leather whip over 1.5 meters in length.[3]

    * In 1999, a mother of five was executed in front of 30,000 spectators in Kabul’s Olympic stadium for the murder of her abusive husband. She was imprisoned for 3 years and extensively tortured prior to the execution, yet she refused to plead her innocence in a bid to protect her daughter, reportedly the actual culprit.[14]

    * When a Taliban raid discovered a woman running an informal school in her apartment they beat the children, threw her down a flight of stairs causing her to break her leg, and then imprisoned her. They threatened to publicly stone her family if she didn't sign a declaration of loyalty to the Taliban and its laws




    they follow Sharia Law....just read this.....excuse me for the source.

    Lol are you serious?
    Keep on rockin in the free world!!!!

    The economy has polarized to the point where the wealthiest 10% now own 85% of the nation’s wealth. Never before have the bottom 90% been so highly indebted, so dependent on the wealthy.

    that means there are routes and actions that can take place without military action being involved...

    dictating change while pointing a gun is not the only way to get things done...

    You could take the action that your government is used to and arm the people who don't like the way their life is and give them intel and let them do the dirty work. Why waste good Cdn blood for this.
    You've changed your place in this world!

    money, diplomacy, letting them live how they want to live, money, sanctions, economic incentives...

    why is it our job to police the world...? who says we know everything about everyone and can dictate how they live...?

    how do you know...?

    seriously...how do you know...? I know you like to deal in absolutes...but that's not always how things are...
  • Afghanistan, just like Irak, needs to police themselves, we have no business there, we did our job and it just didn't work that well, we're not their babysitter. About time Afghan govt. take things over. They still violate humans and mostly women's right, we did helped them since 2001-2002, up till 2009, then it will be for someone else to take that fight if Afghan. govt. just can't do it.

    Canada will leave, btw NDP just won a seat in Montreal, Thomas Mulcair is a good politician and will help the NDP, finally some good canadian politics news.

    Good to see your name back in this board...I also agree WE WILL LEAVE....and sooner than later...and I could not be happier....and as for reasons I do not feel the need to give any....I am against this proxy war and the sooner we leave the happier I will be (and for the record will feel just as safe as I do now).

    avoid your point? whats your point? asking me to join the military? ok just for you.

    if we are talking about Iraq, Iran, hell even north korea I'd agree. but you seem to want to give money or diplomacy to Islamic radicalism. which is idiotic.
