  1. Re:USA fucked up *Afghanistan*?! on Arthur C. Clarke Reports From Sri Lanka · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The sad fact is that what I wrote is true - and can easily be verified in seconds. Rather than doing that, my post gets moderated as "troll".

    Ignorance is bliss.

    (PS: The reason the US "helped" in the Balkan war is finally approved now - the oil pipeline will be built - by an american company. Same thing is happening in Afghanistan, and we all know how it looks like in Iraq.)

    I talked about the lies of how the US would help rebuild what they bombed to pieces, of course. You do know that the US promised a lot and did nothing - right?

    Oh - and those "elections" were a farce. They only took place so that Bush could say they did.

    Similar symptoms have occurred, in Kuwait and are proliferating. It is believed that in Iraq, 250,000 men, women, and children may have been affected. The death rate is high A study carried out in 1993 by three American scientists estimated that about 50,000 Iraqi children had already died during the first eight months after the Gulf War from the detrimental effects of DU projectiles.

    50000 - in eight months - after the _first_ war. More DU-weapons were used in the second. Most effects are long term and show up several years later.

    Before you accuse someone of "bullshit" - at least use Google. That way you'll avoid coming across as a total idiot.

    Clearly Afghanistan is far more democratic now then it was under the Taliban

    In a series of extraordinary reports, the latest published in July, Human Rights Watch has documented atrocities "committed by gunmen and warlords who were propelled into power by the United States and its coalition partners after the Taliban fell in 2001" and who have "essentially hijacked the country". The report describes army and police troops controlled by the warlords kidnapping villagers with impunity and holding them for ransom in unofficial prisons; the widespread rape of women, girls and boys; routine extortion, robbery and arbitrary murder. Girls' schools are burned down. "Because the soldiers are targeting women and girls," the report says, "many are staying indoors, making it impossible for them to attend school [or] go to work."

    In the western city of Herat, for example, women are arrested if they drive; they are prohibited from travelling with an unrelated man, even an unrelated taxi driver. If they are caught, they are subjected to a "chastity test", squandering precious medical services to which, says Human Rights Watch, "women and girls have almost no access, particularly in Herat, where fewer than one per cent of women give birth with a trained attendant". The death rate of mothers giving birth is the highest in the world, according to Unicef. Herat is ruled by the warlord Ismail Khan, whom US defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld endorsed as "an appealing man... thoughtful, measured and self-confident".

    No, and you're an idiot for asking. American weapons are killing MILLIONS of newly born and unborn Iraqi babies - how the f*ck does your twisted mind work trying to compare this to the deaths of 2900-something adults.

    You might want to compare the number of americans dead at 9/11 to the numbers of middle-eastern deaths caused by the USA. There's a factor of 1000 involved. The only thing you're doing now in Afghanistan and Iraq is causing MORE people to become anti-american - and guess what will happen then?

    If you think you're doing anything to help democracy in Afghanistan or Iraq you need to listen to non-american biased media for a while. You've _totally_ f*cked Afghanistan up, and Iraq will soon be an Iranian enclave (which is the very reason Bush Sr did NOT remove Saddam from power) if things continue on the path they're now.

    Regarding Sudan - read the latest item on my site. See sig. You might want to do basic fact-checking before writing next time.

    It was directed at you, since you seem to think there's "fashion" to anti-USA feelings all over the world. As a European I can assure you that the reasons we're out in numbers protesting against the crimes being committed by your regime have nothing to do with "fashion" - and everything to do with your blatant disregards for (non-american) human lives and rights.

    What's even more amazing is the sheer number of americans who still think you are "the land of the free".
