    Well I don't really know the fella that well. For all I know he's ex-sas currently working as a weapons and combat instructor. Or he could be an artist who has never so much as scuffed a knuckle. That's kind of the point though...no one really knows who is behind an online persona.

    Edit - and Katman...you must admit...you can be a bit of a keyboard prize fighter sometimes! (although, you're not always wrong!)
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    What would you do? Tell him to be more responsible in his actions or run off to change your nappy?
    The problem is, Ahmed ChickBOOM is not the kind to knock on your door and hang around. He is likely to place an IED booby trapped to the door so that after he has knocked and run away, you're blown up when you answer the door!

    Correct.
    The title of the thread says a lot. Spirits are not broken here (apart from those who want to circle the wagons and wave the French National Flag) and the terrorists should be sent a message in return.

    Respect to the fallen troops.

    I got yer back... Dear Mr Obama, if you give the Palestinian people their land back, or at least broker some form of deal, and you remove your troops from Islamic country's then the freedom fighters will stop fighting. You're welcome, Mash.

    Do you really think they will? A bit naive to think that isn't it?

    Especially since they have been killing their own for many many years before the Americans were even involved.

    . Is it not worth giving it a shot? or are you too hooked on your war that you refuse to take the freedom fighters at their word, just in case? Look at it this way, if the freedom fighters break that "oath" then it's carte blanche, open season on their asses. They have made their position clear, all we hear from the west is, we do not negotiate with "terrorists". Funny as it is the west that is the aggressor. Boils my blood that people swallow that line of shite without a shred of evidence, just a gut feeling and some "intelligence" from the aggressor... and I'm the naive one .

    So why did the Americans get involved? and the Africans have been doing the same for decades before that, but I don't see any western intervention there. Nope, they'd rather fly straight over the top of that and head straight to the other side of the world to impose their authority.

    Go back to sleep son.

    What are the chances the Taliban would be allowed to participate in democratic elections?
    Atheism and Religion are but two sides of the same coin.
    One prefers to use its head, while the other relies on tales.

    I don't understand what you are driving at.
    Please try and be a little less obtuse.

    If the Taliban were not allowed to vote ... it would not be a democratic election.

    So do you think Afghanistan is going to end up with a democracy or not?
