There was an oppresive regieme violating the human rights of its people, but you could say that for any number of countries and we're not about to intervene there.<BR/><BR/>What made Afganistan different was 9/11 and their support of Al Quaeda. Our security was directly treatened, so we had to act. Now that the international community has gone in and toppled the Taliban, we can't just leave before things have stabilized.<BR/><BR/>As for blackwolf, I'll go with Nav's view that you were offering satire. Otherwise, I think you've been using some of the product of which you speak.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1147832748716544982006-05-16T22:25:00.000-04:002006-05-16T22:25:00.000-04:00u can say ur in favor of been in afghanistan, when...u can say ur in favor of been in afghanistan, when u come back from there, and see what action and seeing what war does to a human body, and if u want to support war lords and drug dealers in karzay's government, well thats ur freedom. If the soviets couldnt do it, and they were more vicious than we could ever be, what chance do we have, how do you expect the population to support karzay, or an occupation army, when what they see is drug dealers and war lords, the taliban at least eradicated, heroin, now the country produces 80 % of it...is this ur idea of democracy???or are u just bloging for the fun of it, without the proper information?Red Tory exposedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10644756327862533016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1147831573877893862006-05-16T22:06:00.000-04:002006-05-16T22:06:00.000-04:00Why please?Well, initially to rout-out the Taliban...<I>Why please?</I><BR/><BR/>Well, initially to rout-out the Taliban regieme that aided and abbeted 9/11, and was providing a continuing safe haven for terrorism. <BR/><BR/>More importantly, now that we (the international community) is there, we need to stay involved until a stable democratic government is in place, and not let things disolve back into anarchy and begin the cycle of destruction all over again.<BR/><BR/><I>Do you mean no time limit whatsoever?</I><BR/><BR/>Of course not. As I mentioned in the last line that you quoted, the ability of our military to sustain the mission is a key consideration. We should also only stay as long as out help is desired and needed by the Afgan government. The burden should and is being shared with other countries. And as I said later in the post, we do need a clear timeline to rotate back. That has to be a part of the debate.<BR/><BR/><I>Two years is a long time and the mandate should be clearly outlined through the parliamentary process.</I><BR/><BR/>I agree, the length of the mission and its parameters should be part of the debate, and should be clearly defined.<BR/><BR/><I>We may think we are there because of 9/11 ...pipeline and oil...

Do some research on the subject; it's readily available. <BR/>NATO my aunt Fanny, and 'supporting the troops' doesn't cut it either. <BR/>Bring 'em home - that's the support they need!

The Con's are asking for an unrestriced mandate for two more years.<BR/><BR/>Two years is a long time and the mandate should be clearly outlined through the parliamentary process. We are not just an extension of US military interests in the region and should only be doing humanitarian and development work at this time.<BR/><BR/>Six month mandates should be explored within clear parametersS.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00696246515215639169noreply@blogger.com
