The British Council in Afghanistan trains Afghans to accept occupation and to produce Western-friendly politicians for a Western-style political system. Does anybody truly believe that such a program is sustainable ? http://www.britishcouncil.org/afghanistan.htm Who are the idiots in charge of Western foreign policy which depends upon invasion and occupation to spread the judeo-christian message to people, worldwide, who don't want it ?
Oh come on you just made that up. Those aren't some kind of reverse madrasah where they convert people to Christianity and teach them all day to not murder anybody that thinks differently than you. They're just giving kids some education. Also unless your viewpoint is that of Al-Queda or the Taliban Afganistan isn't even "occupied" by the west at this point. And we might not even have a presece there long term. In either case since the Northern Alliance groups are native and the Taliban and Al-Queda aren't it seems more accurate to say they've thrown off their occupation. We let them have their bigoted little constitution that says only a Muslim can be president (Or hold any office? I don't remember the particulars from when I read it). This is far from a conversion by the sword. Though I'm curious exactly what values/message you think is being spread and what's so bad about it. Religious tolernace? The idea that the best way to get to heaven isn't to murder somebody?
It seems to me that the Afghan resistance know a great deal more about what is going on at the British Council than you do. http://www.britishcouncil.org/afghanistan.htm
Again, what are you seeing in there that you think means those guys deserved to be murdered? Were there "accepting occupation 101" or "advanced christian studies" tabs I missed? I'm thinking the attackers were seeing Afgani youths being tought english and business skills by a bunch of infidels instead of spending their time in a madrasah and for that some kafir teachers needed to go boom, maybe some Afgani youths in the area, pregnant secretaries, whatever they could find in the area. Seriously, how are you seeing this, and where are you getting that information/perspective from?
The Taliban terrorists didn't know the Consulate had a panic room. All the Brits hid out during the attack so the Taliban only killed there fellow Afghans. Way to go Taliban!
The British Council is a worldwide British propaganda arm funded by the British government. Do you really believe that it intends Afghans any good ? The British are killing Afghans. The apparent naivety of your pro-British pitch is astounding.
we should leave and let them hack each other up , it will happen as soon as we leave , no more aid to the fools
No more aid, no more immigration no more military presence bar special forces / aircraft to hit Jihadists.
Military aircraft would be better employed hitting Dutch fascists and those who kindle sectarian conflict , such as Geert Wilders. Where is the Dutch equivalent to the British Council in Afghanistan ? Perhaps there isn't one, following the Dutch betrayal of 8,000 muslims to their deaths in Srebrenica ?
So you consider the Taliban, which you call the Afghan resistace, offers a better future for Afghans than the "propaganda" the British Council stood for? In which ways may I ask? Yes, the Britrish sometimes kill Afghans but nothing like as many as your "resistance" does and moderated by the Geneva Conventions unlike your "resistance". This attack was a suicide attack, a favoured Taliban tactic using mostly young indoctrinated foreigners. Three would-be-suicide bombers were arrested in Spinboldak district in southern Kandahar province You think they are Afghans fighting for a better future for Afghanistan? Why do your "resistance" fighters take their orders from Pakistan? Gen. Ayub Slangi told ABC News the attackers, who used a truck bomb, suicide bombs and automatic weapons to besiege the British Council for hours, were in constant contact with their superiors in Pakistan based on cell phones recovered after Afghan and international forces retook the compound. Slangi has previously said attacks in Afghanistan were directed out of Pakistan. source
Why would the Dutch build a council there for culture while there is no culture avaible in the Muslim World. 8000 Muslims died because the nato gave small arms, a weak mandate, and no support.
Geert Wilders is NOT a fascist, Moon. Just because he hates Muslim immigration to the Netherlands and fears for what it could do to his country doesn't make his politics fascist; in fact, I looked at a summation of his political beliefs and they are not facist at all. Just because a fair number of anti-immigrant groups are fascist doesn't make all such groups fascist. Try doing your research first. As for the Dutch UN contingent's cowardly betrayal of the Muslims at Srebenica, I agree it was a black mark on the Netherlands and on the United Nations, but they did it because they were cowardly ditherers rather than because those they were supposedly protecting were Muslims.
I'd say your perspective does a whole lot more in helping to promote fascism by descrinbing it as legitimate resistance.
That's just one method of slaughter. The Dutch are already part of the degenerate machinery which bombs and blows up kids from a safe distance.
The British termed the American colonists ' terrorists ' during the War of Independence. No invasion = no resistance to invasion.
It is true that one man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist. Still, to compare the Alliance's tactics in Afghanistan with those of the Taliban is not very accurate at all. There is no active effort by the Taliban to reduce innocent casualties. They take the easy way out by bombing marketplaces.
Drones kill civilians by the score and ground troops even more. A withdrawal means that both sides win.
