Democratic Afghanistan


The numbers speak volumes.
Those who think Afghan President Hamid Karzai is a lost cause should think again. So says the evidence from a recent poll of what Afghans think, five years after the fall of the Taliban. "The current Afghan government retains broad support," concludes the survey by Charney Research, with 68 per cent of Afghans approving Karzai’s work.

While the Taliban are active throughout south and west Afghanistan, their suicide bombings and attacks on schools and government buildings are not winning them any supporters. Nearly 90 per cent of Afghans have unfavourable views of the Taliban, with 76 per cent saying they have "very unfavourable" views. The only thing with a worse rating: Osama bin Laden.
(snip)
Another indication of the trauma of Taliban rule is that 85 per cent or more Afghans are thankful for the US invasion, grateful for the presence of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation troops in the country and prefer the Karzai government – despite its inability to provide law and security or stamp out corruption – to the Taliban.


All the while Jack Bin Layton, Gilles Duceppe and Stephane Dion talk about how the mission is a failure. They want to quit now that we're on the verge of victory. The Taliban are hated in Afghanistan, and they need to be exterminated.

Oh, and is this what it looks like to "force our lifestyle" on another culture? Because I think they like it.

yeah so the afghan people say they want democracy. ruled by the people, for the people. fuck the people. people don't know what they want. let me throw out an analogy

the workers at mcdonalds all hate the manager. so they overthrow the management and do all the things THEY want to do. everyone gets 1 hour paid breaks, free meals, and no more hairnets. They love it. And the restaurant goes out of business in like a week.

the people can't rule themselves. people are stupid. the people need to be ruled and led by a strong charismatic leader who can see the big picture and has the best interest of the country as a whole in mind. and sometimes that requires killing off all of the people who oppose the leader.

it's out in the open now, I'm pro-genocide. ha!
 
What scares me most is that you WORK for a government!

And I'd also like to say, that running a country is a little different than running a McDonalds, even though I don't consider you much better than a shift-supervisor :)

You Communist government workers have to stop preaching your Ivory Tower bullshit.
