Sorry CM I did n't mean to mis-lead you. As you will see from my later post I supported the actions in Afghanistan. I support the crushing of the Taliban. I fully agree with you that the Taliban ruined thousands of lives. the Taliban abused the most basic human rights.
I still maintain that alot of innocent Afghans got killed, injured and arrested in ...[text shortened]... er four years there many of these men are being denied their basic human right to a fair trial.
sometimes, not always, but sometimes in life a person/group/country needs to ACT. That is we can sit back and only debate in the retrospective. Your two posts above re: Afganistans "crushing" by the US show that you haven't a clue( at least about that subject) I believe the thousands of Afgani women now atending college would beg to differ with you. By all accounts afganistan is a much better place for the US action, and the many US and Afgani soldiers who died to free the country from the A holes of the Taliban did not die in vain. Your post belittles their sacrifice. The country has been fighting either amongst itself or against the Russians for decades, I believe the afgani people will tell you the rapid conclusion the US military brought was welcomed.
