Now that they are seriously losing on the battlefield they want to cut and run

That's laughable, especially the quaint little mention of Nazism.
Obviously the Jihadism propaganda works with some people...

In all your hogwash spamming that you've been able to muster, have you even visited the Digital Video and Imagery Distribution System? ie. the stuff the media won't show you because they figure it doesn't sell?

Check it out for yourself and then come back with a little more balanced view...

It looks like FOX News 2. US Navy banners everywhere.
I bet they film videos for brave Americans who think that Freedom is justified by killing thousands of innocent people of race you don't like.

I never said a word in all my posts that I justify that.

In my opinion it's a problem of super-power nations in general. When you think that your nation is way to better than others you start doing really terrible things. That's what happened with Soviet Union a decade ago, that what is happening with the US right now.

your in desperate need of a history lesson of your own country and mine.

aside from the eliminating the terror camps and the Taliban which the world wanted us to do.

aside from getting their asses handed to them by the Mujahadeen, even if the Soviets were to have been successful do you really think they would have turned back over the country to the Afghans? no. the Soviets were gonna rape that place for themselves and throw down a new pipeline.

i'm slowly beginning to realize how bainwashed you are with your tired Foxnews comments and shortsided revisionist history. it's symptomatic of someone who gets all their infomation (propaganda) off far left America bashing websites.

quote:

A "holy war" has been proclaimed against the Revolution by the so-called Moslim Brothers, a reactionary terrorist grouping of a conservative Moslim orientation. Demagogically exploiting "Islamic" slogans, the Afghan Moslim Brothers, who have extensive ties with similar groupings in other countries of the East, are trying to exert pressure on the socially backward masses of working people in both town and village. . . . They serve the interest of the reactionaries in the region and are being exploited by imperialist circles to conduct activities directed against the national interests and the people’s Revolution of Afghanistan

L. Mironov and G. Polyakov, "Afghanistan: The Beginning of a New Life," International Affairs, Moscow, March 1979, p. 49.

Basically, if youre looking for a cause of regional, religous based activities then the soviets helped to further that in Afganistan by breaking the Sov-Afgan Friendship alliance under the pretext of 'defending' them when in reality it was just a show of force to prove that they could exert themselves in the third world from a military perspective.

I just don't see the connection between a Russian who's country helped create the extremist problems in Afganistan, admiring people like Saddam, yet remaining openly critical of the US when Russia herself has done nothing to contribute there to any kind of peace.

Oh, thats right, you'd lose out on arms sales (edit) or some attempt to climb a little bit of moral high ground while you can ignore the sins of the past with a glossy current set of events?

It's warranted, basically there is little difference with nazi invasion of poland and chezchoslovakia and what americans and their puppet allies have done in Iraq among other places . False propaganda, stigmatizing entire population , destroying infrastucture , torture and concentration camps, killings of leaders, installing puppets etc...

I see that I struck the nerve but be assured I am well informed and ballanced, I mean I read all the corporate media just for ballance from liberal New York Times to impeccably right Fox news. It's just that I don't take them seriously or on their word because I know better and in this age of internet there is no excuse for ignorance

you can say that about Vietnam and number of other places and it's not really comparable to Afghanistan where communism was actually progressive movement compared to tribal backwardness and islamic fundamentalism prevalent then and now

and you hate intelligent and informed people, is that so?

Anyway I am a Serbian Canadian and I am white as anyone but of course this background includes bias against American imperialism twice but Americans and Brits give us so much material even the most ardent Fox watchers are beginning to see things. The recent complete plunge for war on Iraq is a good indicator that most people are starting to wake up albeit too late because that war is out of control and only because of troops casualties .

Don't talk rubbish, Afganistan had a government in place that was sympathetic to Soviets and was comparatively peaceable, liberal enough of a place for dopey hippies to go backpacking through the large towns and cities without any problems from the locals you wouldnt find anywhere else. At least while the king was in charge.
After he was bumped off things went to hell where the communist governments where put in place and unfunnily enough the 'Godless' heathens to the north where not exactly popular with the locals who retreated into secular, tribal and religious groups who fought back against the communists, who you might remember where anti-religion.
So, the US trained the Mujahideen in Pakistan and eventually the USSR sent in the troops to stop it all and well, rest is history after that was over with no government in place and the 12 in 13 that where not killed in the Afgan war with the soviets stayed in their tribal territories because there wasnt anyone in charge and no one from the US or USSR to help them rebuild their country.
Then it's little wonder the extremists who moved in got the 'job' of running the place simply because they where the only ones left that could make something of the anarchy. All very sad really.
