yeah when it suited the US's interests. However, much to Dr. Tor-A-Mana's chagrin, the straw man, the objectives aligned immediatly after the Soviets were ejected.
"While the assertion that Washington and the West Abandoned the Afghans after the Soviet withdrawal is now accepted as fact, it is an fact entirely inaccurate. From the exit of the last Red Army trooper in 1989 until well after the Afghan communists' defeat in 1992, the United States, Britain, Germany, and the UN worked diligently to install a regime in Kabul that would include representatives of all Afghan groups-- so long as they were not Islamists and had not fought and bled to drive out the USSR. At one point, for example, Washington had three diplomats of ambassadorial rank and one special envoy--Peter Tomsen, Robert Oakley, Phyllis Oakley, and Zalmay Khalilzad--working to produce a regime that would include sophisticated, English speaking, secular Afghans, Afghan technocrats; former communists--even former Afghan communist president Najibullah; supporters of the deposted Afghan king and Afghans who had spent the war making money in America, Europe, Iran, and India. In other words, the West was ready to consider anyone save those who had carried AK47s and killed Soviets. Indeed, a major reason a post Soviet Afghan civil war began was because those who had fought saw their hard-won right to rule being haded by Westerners to Afghans who were nominal Muslims and who had chosen to sit out the war.
This situation moreover, made Riyadh and Islamabad believe that support for the hardest-line Islamists-Sayyaf and Hekmetyaar--was the only was to stop the formation of a pro-Western Kabul regime that would also be friendly to the anti Sunni and/or anti Pakistani governments of India, Iran, and Russia. (History is repeating itself. Today Riyadh and Islamabad face the same dilemma with the Karzai regime, which is antithetical to their interests and which is being bolstered by the US and NATO."

BA my english is not that good and maybe make a grammatical mistake or a mistake when expressing my opinion in english.
hope you dont mind.
Your English is perfectly fine. The whole point of the written word is to communicate your notions/ideas and you do it well. Keep reading these texts and news articles, etc. and you will get better at it.
A great source from which to learn solid beautiful English is the brilliantly done Yusuf Ali English translation of the Quran. Ali has a mastery of the English language and left behind a work of art. This is interesting because, like so many artistic geniuses, he died a tragic death. I should note though that some folks consider Ali to be a slight bit controversial. However, his translation took the Quran to the hearts of so many in the English speaking world. Moreover, I admire his evolution from being born a Bohari to finding his direction to Sunni Islam. His tafsir is beautiful and he traveled far and wide, for example, to accumulate evidence to write the section on Zul Qarnain.
However, buy the copy that the Saudi's have not altered (older versions). The secularists here will laugh at this, but remind them that Abraham Lincoln learned his oratory and written skills from the King James Bible. That is exactly where he derived his famous phrase: "Four scores and seven years ago..."

A man who worked his ass off from poverty to his own show on CNN. Thanks to that Jew Stewart, he was fired, and probably has been blacklisted by all media outlets, since they are owned by Jews.
I love, love, LOVE Colbert, LOL. He's almost always my major source of information on what's going on, which is apparently starting to become a trend, a response to an unfortunately disturbing reality.
And I particularly enjoy his talks on religion. He's one of the few with the guts to speak the truth.
Steven coldbear is a douchebag.
My two cents: People think they like him because he is so pretentious and over dramatic that they mistake his genuine sycophancy for satire and thus feel less intelligent if they don't pretend to understand his reverse-reverse psychology. In real life he is a smart son of a gun...almost too smart for his own good. Though his "character" is suppose to be representing ultra right wing patriotic republican attitudes...his show does nothing more than validate those views. It's as if his fan actually think he is playing a fool for fools who actually believe him to be genuine...as if those republican, white, bush supporters are so stupid that they are falling for his "superb" acting.
I watch Jon steward, simply because he is the original, comedy news maker....and with him there is less comedy and more news. He doesn't have to put on an act...or try to complicate the issues but shows that they actually are made complicated by the Gov...he doesn't have to make fun of the politicians...they actually are funny. With him...its effortless... and the coldbert fans miss that....a real genius can simplify complex problems...but coldberto has to abstract it...then abstract it further...to the point where you are left confused by what his real message is....just like "modern art"...it's pretentious.
Still I take everything Jon the jew, and Coldbert the racist have to say with a grain of salt. You won't find them ever questioning US policy on Afghanistan. EVER. Mostly they make fun of the media outlets. Their criticism is almost a mild muse...as if it's all business as usual. They deny the 9/11 truth movement...and watch their guest list - all nobodies. They are no threat. If they were...they would be without a show. If anything they make the harsh reality more palpable for the average self involved american.

pretty much.
There are people today who think that admitting God’s absolute greatness decreases the value and importance of humans in the creation, as if God and mankind are rivals competing in greatness and power. Meanwhile I feel that whenever our perception of God’s greatness increases, with it we become greater, because we are the creation of a great God.
Kevin Bleyerjoined the writing staff of The Daily Show in 2005, where he has worked on over 1000 episodes. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a Truman National Security Fellow and one of the founding contributors to The Huffington Post, a site which strictly forbids questioning of 9/11. Bleyer has also scripted material for Bill Maher and conservative comic Dennis Miller, two other comedians who have regularly disparaged 9/11 activists. Surely this is all just a coincidence, but one that’s interesting enough to note.
Since 2008 Bleyer has contributed to a number of U.S. President Barack Obama's speeches, including the President's 2010 address at the annual White House Correspondents Dinner.
It is openly admitted that chicken hawk neoconservatives like William Kristol love doing The Daily Show, where Stewart might make them mildly uncomfortable for a minute, before jumping past the really hard hitting questions and shaking their hands with a smile. In the spirit of his “moderate liberalism” he has given a pass on real issues and war crimes to the likes of Doug Feith, John Bolton and Condoleeza Rice among others. How could a “sane” person joke around with the architects of an illegal, unjustified war that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of innocent people being dead? If neocons love doing his show, one can only imagine how the eugenics loving globalists who pose as concerned liberals on his show feel about it (Clinton, Gates, Gore, etc.).
For proof of a globalist connection to the Daily Show, one need go no further than one of the show’s Emmy Award winning writers, Kevin Bleyer, who is a member of the globalist round table group known as the Council on Foreign Relations, whose stated mission can only be described as the erosion of U.S. sovereignty. His Wikipedia entry proudly boasted about his CFR membership until recently, but it can still be confirmed elsewhere, like on the CFR’s own website and Bleyer’s Facebook page in which two of his five “likes” are the CFR and Foreign Affairs, the CFR’s publication. In addition, Bleyer (who was one of the writers present on the night I was assaulted) is a Truman National Security Fellow, an organization that “recruits, trains, and positions progressives across America to lead on national security”. It appears that Bleyer is positioned nicely. One of the Truman National Security Project’s objectives is Operation Free, a particular project that “organizes military veterans to speak out on issues of climate change and sustainable energy security”. One can assume that Bleyer will not be writing any comedic exposes of “Climate Gate” anytime soon. He may, though, continue to write jokes for Barack Obama as he has done in the past – another instance that makes one consider possible conflicts of interest for The Daily Show and its true range of political satire.
Certainly, there is nothing wrong with the peaceful assembly of individuals to support any cause. However, as individuals it is important to closely inspect those who are “rallying the troops”, whether it’s Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin or even Jon Stewart. The establishment loves to make reference to Hitler and the Nazis, but it may be appropriate here to point out that the people standing and saluting at Nazi rallies actually adored Hitler – and by no means were they all evil people. They were just misled. I believe the people attending the “Rally to Restore Sanity” are being misled – once again. What is being advertised as a gathering of moderate and sensible people to laugh away the implosion of the Constitution and the dollar, has actually been designed to dull the senses so as to repress the most sane reactions to looking at the state of our Union, which should be anger, frustration and a steadfast resolve to fight.
In April of 2009 Jon Stewart was completely honest, before retreating back behind the flashing, pixilated curtain he helps hold in place. In an interview with CFR and Project for a New American Century member Clifford May, Jon rebutted the neocon’s defense of George W. Bush by stating that Harry S Truman was in fact a war criminal for his part in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Considering the thousands of innocent Japanese civilians who were vaporized or radiated to death, it is difficult for any “sane” person to argue that Truman was anything less than a mass murderer, let alone a war criminal. Yet only a couple of days later in a cringe-worthy display, Jon pathetically apologized for calling Harry a war criminal, explaining that it was a “dumb” and “stupid” thing to say. Even Robert McNamara admits that the only thing that saved Harry and his crew from not being labeled “war criminals” was that they won the war. Never the less, maybe Jon really had a change of heart, or maybe he didn’t want to insult his writer Kevin Bleyer, the Truman National Security Fellow. I guess only an insane conspiracy theorist would ponder such things
All these shows are a bunch of BS. What they do is put a conservative view against a liberal view and people watch it and then go to work and reenact what they saw on TV. Most of these peoples views are not their own but just copies of what they saw.

I always wondered why they didnt drop it on an uninhabitant island and invite the japanese to witness the devastating effects. Also why did they drop the second bomb only three days after the first one. Why not give the Japanese some time to surrender.
