Afghanistan — shit! I’m having trouble with this war. Democracy, liberate women, build schools, build hospitals, get rid of the opium fields, get rid of the Taliban, get rid of corruption. . . all sounds good. Trouble is there is too much ‘all’ to get rid of.How about concentrating on getting rid of the Taliban first then get on with the other objectives. Better yet, just let the Afghanis revert to the tribalism they so love and enjoy and we will get on with the life we so love and enjoy. Should the Taliban (or whomever the terrorist of the day nmay be) start up their training camps again, well then, we just have the USAF carpet bomb the buggers back to the hills again.
I personally don’t believe we should lose another soldier in this war. Let’s face it, within a year of our claiming victory (whenever that may be) and returning home, the Taliban (or some other fanatical group claiming their God to be on their side) will sweep down from the hills and scurry like rats throughout the countryside, raping, murdering, spreading fear and undoing every modernization the west has established in the country.
Our culture with all its democratic perks is not wanted in Afghanistan; was never wanted in Afghanistan. Communism was not wanted in Afghanistan; was never wanted in Afghanistan. The rule of the British Raj was not wanted in Afghanistan. Never was, never will be. The Afghanistan with all its war lords and religious zealots is obviously what the people of the Afghan want. Well, for sure, that is what the men of Afghanistan want.
Grow dope, beat your women, brainwash your children with religious bafflegab so they will go out and slaughter anyone who thinks just a little different from them, that is the culture . Their life style has been going on like that for centuries — millennium to be more exact. Why should we send young men and women in harm’s way to change such a backward lot? We should not. Never should have.
