If there was no response,and those brave man & woman... me and you
would be reeding Kuran and not playing on this keyboard...:-)
CHEERS...
And I most say that.....I dont think that we can winn this war.
And for me my daughter is the most important thing in the world.
She means more to me than a bunch of muslims.
Think about........ so manny young men lost there lives in Iraq..., for oil interests..... think about that.
It is an iliusion to think that we can transforme a middelage afghanistan to some civilised..... it will take generations.
Think about east germany...... still its not fully integrated.
Every day I´m thinking about the soldiers down there, and about there wounds.......
Have a nice day
Sir...I am disgusted that you would even post this considering your military service.
Servicemen and women are dying so that YOUR daughter and others like her can have a terrorism free life and not worry about getting onto an airplane.
Historictly....my grandgrand par was in france 1914-18, and my grandpar was on the easternfront 1941-45, so my family has done there duty.....smilling.
But we can ask our selves way we have conflicts......(they will allways be here, exspecially in the middeleast) they are there becaurse there are so manny pure peopel in the world. And then off caurse off politic´s.
And im not proud as an euperean........that we allways need our big brother US-army to take the big strike(jugoslavia and both world wars) becaurse they could use there money at home.....
and also here in NATO we can see that not all countries is partisipating equel... Denmark is only a litel land but we have had a lot of trooups in Iraq and now in Afghanistan.
But the major part is from UK and US.
Afghanistan is an endless conflict, belive me it is. And the young guys who is comming back, are not taken care off(denmark).
But that is my statement.
However you have absolutely no right to criticize this man... you owe him an apology.
What does it matter how many years he served or was older than me? You asked ME if I had ever served, you were assuming (maybe) that I hadn't served.
I owe him nothing of an apology. As an ex serviceman he should stand proud and support his fellow servicemen.
Who said I was scared of Al Qaeda?
I think you mistook my 'harbouring' comment. Harbouring meant that Pakistan were ignoring the fact that the taliban had training camps in your country and nothing was done to get rid of them until the pressure was applied. They are still there this very day, in the tribal areas.
I agree, war is a terrible waste of life, but war at times, is the only resolution to get rid of those that apply the use of terrorism and more often than not, on innocent people who just want to get on with their daily lives...and I cite 9/11 and 7/7 as two prime examples.
What I meant was not what we see on the surface NOW, but related to the history of it and the current global strategic perspective. Just to refresh the memmory, our friends decided to play their old Cold War game's finale in Afghanistan. They came and infested the area with heavy arms, trained even the kids to fight the Soviets. Even gave them stingers to the same people they then called the Mujahedeen. So they used the Afghans to defeat their enemy choosing an off premises battlefield.
And when the Soviet Union disintegrated, the friends left Afghanistan without clearing the mess they created. Without disarming the barbarians they created. It is all on record that it was a move they regretted. They think they should have stayed to develop the area and made sure the arms were removed and a government is there to run the affairs like a proper country. They should have stayed to develop at least some infrastructure then. Which they are doing now thankfully.
Afghans, who were so used to fight only, then restored to fighting among themselves. Created warlords and druglored from within the country. All needing power. They all had all arms and amunition they needed, left by the friends.
We started suffering from then onwards. First, we absorbed over 2 million afghan refugees. And then had to deal with the infiltration of their convicts, arms and drugs into our country. A gift our friends left us.
Now the strategic priorities have changed. Our friends are back again. Most probably to encircle China. And we are made to engage in a useless fight again. Losing time, money, lives everything.
That was not our war. But was made our war. Yet again this is being made our war which was not ours in the first place.
