After 911 the IRA saw what happens when you fly a jumbo jet into a skyscraper, they ended up bouncing a hot air balloon off Canary Warfe
You do know that the IRA called their last, permanent, ceasefire 5 years before 9/11?

The thread was about the attacks going on in Kabul now. Anyone who straps explosives to them thinking they will go straight to heaven as a result is clearly warped out of their mind. Intentionally killing innocent civillians is totally wrong anyway, be it leaving a bomb and running away or strapping it to yourself and taking one for the boys. Of course reasons and excuses can be given but in my opinion they never stand up.

You seem to have changed your tune since the other day and your "Brown Bread" thread.

Yes, that was a wind up for Erik. Don't take the internet serious all the time Stopme![]()
If you think that you're going to heaven and this act is your guarantee, then it's really not a hard thing to do, is it?
Especially when you consider the standard of living that a lot of these people will have.
bumpkin
The whole martyrdom thing is overplayed. Half these guys just want the Yanks and the others out. They are not fighting some Holy war here, they are fighting an occupation. I remember during our own conflict politicians and press in Britain would be saying things like 'our whole way of life is under attack' and other such stuff. It was nonsense.


If people seriously believe that ALL the attacks in Iraq or Afghanistan were suicide attacks then you need your head read
Its always us good them bad
The fact is the taleban (and afghans in general) are a proud and fierce peoples.
There is a reason they are undefeated

The Taleban aren't a fierce, proud people, they're an oppressive bunch of religious lunatics.

The Taliban are just defending their country like elements of every country in the world would if it had been invaded by a foreign army. When they ran the country at least men had jobs and women didnt have to send their children out begging. The main problems in the country are unemployment, police corruption and kidnapping which the police are involved in. The people of the country want the soldiers and the corrupt government that America installed out so support for the Taliban is growing all the time, although their views that women should not be educatd or work are bad, the country would be alot safer for everyone and men would be able to work and earn money for their families.
Who is anyone to tell another culture how to live?

Us English and British of course. We've done it for centuries, why should we stop now? The world isn't going to civilise itself![]()
