I've decided to support the Taliban and Afghan resistance

    I think all progressive people should hope the Afghan resistance forces kill and drive out the occupying Nato forces. While I understand people are uncomfortable supporting Afghan resistance because elements of it have links to fundamentalist islam, in a global sense their victory is desireable. It would be a bloody nose for aggressive imperialism and make the US and their dogs think twice before starting new wars. It is foolish to believe that bloodthirsty and imperialistic atheism and chritianity is preferable to islam.

    People say the taliban are animals but there is no evidence they would be any worse for Afghanis than the imperialist occupiers. The Americans don't give a damn abour rights for women or gays. If they cared about women and gays they wouldn't be bombing them and killing hundreds and thousands of them. Most of the young lads in the taliban are just nationalists who want the invaders and murderers out. It's not about religion. It's about American imperialism Vs nationalistic resistance. Similar to Vietnam in many ways and it is a positive thing the yankee dogs were driven out of there. All good people should support Afghan nationalists fighting to drive out the mercenaries and carpet baggers.

    You should actually add a poll on whether people would prefer to live under imperialist occupiers or the taliban. Know which one I'd choose

    Why?
    Much rather live under the American umbrella than the world ruled by some Taliban style regime

    Well don't just be another keyboard Warrior then OP. Convert to Islam and head to Pakistan to join up with the Taliban there to fight the Imperialist Aggressors.

    You can join that other Irish supporter of the Taliban, Khalid Kelly. He's the guy who wants a Caliphate across Europe and wants Ireland to be run under the law of Sharia.

    While I am no supporter of America's foreign policy I have to say that I disagree with your comment OP. What you're doing is trying to justify the Taliban and Al Queda's motives, by making them out to be victims, which they are not. If I remember correctly, this all started when a madman decided it would be cool to have some planes fly into some key American establishments such as the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In what way were the Americans demonstrating imperialism when that happened eh?

    What has arisen over the last 9 years since 9/11 has been a bloody conflict that has seen America and NATO trying to restablise the country, from groups who would do a lot worse then America. There is no real basis to believe that it has anything to do with imperialism, and to support the Taliban is just down right idiotic. Plus there is plenty of evidense to prove the Taliban are animals so that pretty much makes your opinion wrong.

    I was going to copy/paste and add a link about how the Taliban came into power and turned the national soccer stadium into a execution pit for moral crimes (just about everything and anything), banned music, art, dancing, television, just about everything and anything, but then i thought why bother, your obviously a bitter twisted little spanner who has nothing to offer except hiding behind a keyboard, I actually pity you and your upbringing.

    You don't need to show them your support in order to demonstrate your disagreement to the occupation of their land.. the reason they are fighting so aggresively to remove the occupying forces is not because they want freedom for the people.

    Dear OP, the enemy of your enemy is NOT always your friend!

    You don't know what you are talking about

    Al Queda and the taliban are not the same organisation. In fact there is no Al Queada in Afghanistan at the moment. Read up a bit.

    So because the taliban executed people we should support fighter jets dropping cluster bombs on villagers?

    By your user name that is to be expected. The Australians have a long history of proudly serving as cannon fodder for Brittish imperial interests. Your nations proudest moment is invading Turkey in 1915 and young men dying for no reason.

    OP, when you reach 18 you'll realise that the ideal stance to have if you're a humanitarian is not to support ANY organisation that represses others, and you don't have to support one just because you don't support the other. You have suggested reading up, do a bit of reading up yourself on just how evil the Taliban is.

    your damn right , the aghans should be left alone, but it seems western ( anglo saxon ) eyes have been on their land since the brits ( who else ) attempted to invade it in the late 1800's..

    the US and allied forces destroyed the taliban and al qaeda elements in the first few weeks of war and guess what they are still there and in my opinion heroin made a spectacular comeback at least to ireland after the war began..

    the afghan government is up to its neck in corruption and drugs..

    the US occupation of afghanistan be akin to the brits invading the island of ireland after canary wharf etc


    the US are the terrorists here , a few assholes caused 9/11 ( very well planned for so called terror cells ) not a whole nation of distinct and varying peoples..
