It reminds me of a French song called "Le Deserteur." I can't imagine the amount of courage that these people have. There are so many parallels between both wars (and most wars to be honest), and this documentary show them in a great way.

okay here's a difference... and about the only one I've seen. 1. That one guy, he chose to be in the war. 2. the other guy was mandatorily drafted.

Yes, the Afghan gov. has tenuous control over the provinces. As for the CIA, yeah, I know about the allegations. Nothing ever has been proven.

Aegius- Ask any Iragi if they like the "liberty" that the US gave them.

Utter nonsense. Seeing as nobody is going to read this I'm not about to do the legwork to find the newspaper articles for you. You obviously don't read anyways.

You're saying the US gov't can't do what the Taliban did in just 18 months. Do you ever actually read anything? Try reading the UN reports of Afghan Opium production. And research your own CIA. Note where the Directors of the CIA come from. It might give you a clue as to who is running drugs.

Nations go to war mainly in self-defense. The US enterred WWII in response to Japan bombing Pearl Harbor and Hitler declaring war on America. The opium production is due to profiteers in Afghanistan, not in America and if you think that the US gov. can get a grip on drug production in Afghanistan, you're beyond help. The US gov. couldn't do so in Latin America, forget Afghanistan.

Any plan for an oil pipeline through Afghanistan and Pakistan from Kazakhistan was abandoned in 1996. In 1998 the Taliban were paid by the US Congress to get rid of the opium. They didn't do it for moral reasons, and OBL wanted to produce opium to pay for his activities. Still what do you want done about Afghanistan now? Hand it over to the Taliban? |
