    That reminded me of Harrison Ford.

    Someone should tell the Dutch they're over reacting.

    I mean, come on, troops in Afghanistan in danger? Duh!

    That's a joke, right? Over reacting?

    Yeah, sort of like Dutch troops who are afraid of their safety while you know, invading a country and occupying it.

    Can you give me a reason why Afghanis should not kill Dutch troops occupying their country?

    Does that mean that the Afghanis would rather have the Taliban in power than the Dutch occupying their country?

    Would you like someone else to make a decision like that for you?

    Like would you rather have Bush as President or the British occupying you?

    What do you think?

    All that weed and they can't bring themselves to chill the f out... Strange thing indeed.

    Maybe they should try some BC Skunk. That's the real good shit.

    Destroy all of the opium fields and the "enemy" won't have any money to buy weapons. That will stop them cold. By not doing that one thing many people die for nothing more than trying to control the opium output .

    The Taliban had completely stopped opium production, its haram according to them.


    Its Bush who does not want to bother.

    And you're in their country, telling them what to do.

    I'm only stating ways other than war to stop the problems in Afghanistan. The Teliban created other problems like beheading women that didn't do everything they were told or taking away education and making indoctrination into the Teliban the main education goal.

    Hmm so if the Taliban has issues with the US (like Gitmo), they should kill some Americans?

    I know you're probably bored with all that time on your hands, but is this really the best you can come up with? I mean, this is just lazy. Besides the obvious ham-handed trolling, you don't even address the topic that YOU tried to create. If there was a question (and there should have been) then debate over the fears of the Dutch could be discussed. But there was no question, only another troll.

    You don't even make an effort anymore...:shrug:

    Who cares what fears an occupying army has?

    I seriously doubt the Taliban stopped anything except freedom. I don't think opium fields just 'magically' appeared and was in full production within a week or two after we went in. They were there before we ever got there. Either the Taliban was oblivious to their existence or they just flat out lied about it.
    IIRC they were responsible for destroying quite a bit of books, historical documents and the like, and they were also responsible for the destruction of those 180 foot tall Buddha statues(I have a HUGE problem with that). Religious intolerance much?
    The Bush administration is by far not my favorite, but I'd take Dubya 1 million times over the Taliban.

    Not a week or two. A year later. And yeah, the stopping of opium production was pretty big news, maybe not in the US.

    Did you see the source?

    So... the Dutch rightfully fear Islams flipping shit over the showing of a movie (remember the crap the crapped over cartoons?), are like, hey we're kind of scared. Therefore, Islams are justified in attacking Dutch embassies, tourists, and other civilians because Afghanistan is occupied?

    That's like saying America would be justified in invading Iraq after a bunch of Saudis hijacked an airplane, or that America would be justified in kidnapping Islams and locking them up for being Islams since some Saudis attacked the pentagon.

    Are you saying that the Afghanis should care about the right to freedom of expression of their occupiers?

    Sure, if you can give me a reason why a filmmaker was knifed in the street? And, why another filmmaker most likely will meet the same fate?

    Freedom of expression?

    The knifer took the consequences of his action, much like the filmmaker did.

    And in your unbiased opinion, the filmmaker deserved to die for making a film.

    Justice was served?
