Afghanistan Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen
DaHuNt writes: "A well written article about Afghan experiences by the Soviets... Food for thought... 'When Igor Lisinenko entered what he was told was an Afghan rebel base in 1982, he wasn't sure what to expect. It was, after all, his first assignment...'" Very good article. Too bad we aren't learning from the British and Soviet mistakes.
...is the constant chime of the news media that "the US is preparing their military strike against terrorism" (translated quote from German radio news, just minutes ago).
The US is acting like a big, very angered 900 pound gorilla, screaming out "whoever did that, come out and show yourself so that I can beat you up!" Yet, nobody showed up so far. And the investigation has shown quite a few false leads so far, including publishing a list with suspected kamikaze terrorists who are still alive and just happen to have had their passports stolen...
Of course, something must be done. But who is the enemy, really? Bush promised that he would give proof in his (hollywood-taylored *) speech, he didn't. I still don't know who the US and their allies are going to fight and how troops in Afghanistan will help fighting terrorism.
Everybody agrees that "terrorism" is a bad thing and that we should fight it. But isn't it just a catchphrase to drum up the support for this military campaign? (Oh, sorry, it's "America's new war", of course, as trademarked and repeated again and again by CNN.)
So far, a military campaign against the state of Afghanistan is still on a shaky ground. "Bomb these bastards to oblivion," says the general public, but I can't help that I feel bad about it.

I have heard so many frekin suggestions for a solution. Bush babbeling about revege bullshit none stop, fighting the 'war against terrorism'. well FUCK that. There is no better solution, that can ever be concieved, by anyone, ever, then to "revive Hitler, give him an army, and let him loose in the Middle East." Thank you for your dose of common sense, and support for the Führer. Sieg Heil.
Despite whether or not you or I believe it to be the prudent thing to do, it is the course of action that has been set in motion by the US government.
Funny, neither you nor I are military experts. Why don't you leave the doomsaying until you actually have a fucking clue what is going on and what the results are?
Yes, sad but true. It seems Malda, Hemos, and Michelle Sims are all terrorist sympathizers. I can understand Malda since he is of Lebanese descent, but as far as I know Hemos is "white" (although he does his best to disgrace his race).
Hope this helps.
Moslems are lower than the bacteria that eat the shit of worms which feed on pig shit.
Death to every moslem: man, woman, child.
Hey, here is picture that is sure to give you a boner!
Who gives a fuck if they ARE murderous bastards? Just so long as they murder fellow ragheads, I could care less.
It's times like this I THANK GOD I AM WHITE.
Thank you for your support.
Did the British attack America when it was financing the IRA?
