Two more Brits die in Afghanistan.

[Andy the Don]

Hear hear! Who the fuck do we think we are telling other people how to live their lives? Arrogant bastards that we are!

And you think the Taleban will give the Afghan people a choice of how they live their lives?

who gets choice here? My mate was told to put her clothes on by the police when prancing around her own garden, and what about drugs????

Andy, do you think there is any prospect of the British and other occupiers winning over the people, putting an end to the Taleban and so securing a regime less obnoxious than the Taleban?

I don't. On the contrary, I think their presence and killings are strengthening the support for the Taleban.

(Have you read Christina Lamb's articles?)

Did they drag her to the local stadium and execute her ?The taliban were a terrible government and they were the best options the afganis had since
the soviets left .If the nato deployment fails the afganis get an even worse
deal.

Not sure but it wouldn't surprise me - it's been a graveyard for armies since the time of Alexander.

To me, its about time that the British people educated themselves about what goes on in the real world and not the one the media and government spin us every day.

I mean, what about Myanmar/Burma?

That regime is as bad if not worse than the taleban yet no attacks there?
I wonder why?
Could it be that its because massive multi-national energy companies from the US and UK have huge contracts for oil exploration?

Amazing innit!

"God save our gracious twat,
Its all about oil and that,
God save our twat!"
