Class5: Your sense of scale regarding what is wrong is somewhat out of balance. While I don't condone the act of the US soldiers, do you have any idea of the history of the atrocities commited by the Taliban in the Helman Province? Do you have any notion of what the people of Afghanistan have suffered since the civil war that led to the Soviet invasion? Do you realise that the Taliban faced resistance from other internal groups throughtout their regime, therefore, the nation has existed in a constant state of civil war for over 30 years? Have you seen footage of the mass executions of women in soccer fields? Have you seen the lists of the massacres attributed to the Taliban? Tell me now who, or what is wrong?

It is so easy to sit behind a PC in relative comfort and safety while moralising.


for your information, I visited Iraq last months an stayed there for three weeks

...yes... the soldier who killed some civilians in Hadisa, Iraq, got 3 month jail sentence and even that was dismissed

Bad form Cloud. I responded to the soldiers urinating and then you plug in the guy who was leading a squad that killed 15 people and acted as though I was responding to that with my comment.

My feelings on the latter can be found on that thread. very mad
