If Biden's party stopped invasions and murdering of innocents in imperialistic wars; this shameful day could've been avoided for the U.S.
Quote:Honestly, human beings have a trait of showing "ego" and believing they are super; and that what scares me from any victory by the weak.You know I don't care what some shaman said a warlord said a ghost told him.
I don't believe in "westernizing"; but I believe every human is free to live like they want with the statement of the Quran itself:
Still, there's wisdom here in worrying about ego. It was hubris for us to assume that we could nation build with no plan while diverting resources to another war, and, all of that through a recession - no less. Yet we still made tremendous gains for the afghan people. Even a little elbow grease in a shithole goes a long way, it would seem.
Imagine what could have been accomplished had the war not been mismanaged on our side - and had you and your lot not spread ridiculous bullshit about inhuman western monsters coming to steal their patch of nothereistani dirt?
Perhaps, then, the afghan people would be looking at a future where they were free to live like they want - but that's not the future the taliban intends to bring.
Quote:Western politics hurt millions of people; you are not hurt because you're in the west but I am bleeding.Has it ever occurred to you to ask? The west paid dearly, as you gleefully note. An entire generation of people consigned to poverty and shitty roads so that we could effect a marginal improvement elsewhere - all lost now, apparently..to the cheering of an islamist mob. Some of us were killed, and a great many more wounded. There's no shortage of blood and being from the west didn;t protect anyone. Now, remember, we never really -had- to be there. We threw all those american lives on the altar of helping people less fortunate than ourselves. Now, a significant portion of both sides of the aisle here in the us tend towards a more isolationist pov. They feel that helping others hasn;t been worth it, and we should do less of it.
Western economics cause hunger and misery to the weak (Africa; anyone?).
Western imperialism caused Vietnam, then Iraq, and now Afghanistan.
I smell a big, nasty immortality.
Good luck to the rest of you, forget our number, I guess. What could possibly go wrong?
