Mohammed Tom’s comment neither indicated any support for an occupation of Afghanistan or the promotion of any kind of child abuse – if you are going to comment let’s try and make it even remotely relevant to what is being said . .

Oh, you mean more Afghan refugees who practice unislamic traditional Pashtun practices like bacha-bazi, the kind of practices the Taliban (rightly) ends people for? You people who support the illegal occupation of Afghanistan seem to be very focused on promoting child molestation.

Agreed – allowing Muslims into any country that is not already Islamic is cancerous, just look at the problems European countries such as France have been experiencing and will continue to experience.

Also I am at a loss as to why we in the West appear to fall all over ourselves to appease Muslims who decide voluntarily to move here – if I for instance decided to move to Iran and called in a noise complaint on the local Mosque’s Call to Prayer do you honestly think they would give to two shits (which of course they shouldn’t).

Thanks for posting this about the ukie Crims/monsters – I was going to do this too. Risk of being called ‘Ivan’ for illuminating unpleasant facts about our darling Ukrainian chums?

And America and their allies, this incredible beacon of women’s rights, should give Afghanistan back the billions they stole before anyone starts passing the hat around.

The mistake the collective ‘we’ (our team of 5 million with differing demographic ‘crews’) always seem to make is – just like all those Mearies – that the ‘we see the Taliban as some sort of collective group with a common agenda. They’re factional, tribal, mysogenist, and all with their own various agendas. Perhaps the only thing they have in common is that they’re primo bullshit artists.
We’re now reaping what we’ve sown – so be it, but don’t expect me to be ‘in tune’, or “on the same page” with the response to all the crap we’re about to face. It’s probably going to have to be pragmatic if ‘we’ want to survive it. And it’ll probably be, once again, that might is right.
We really do need better muppets in the political and administrative classes.

I see no reason that regular soldiers and junior officers should be tried for crimes committed, unless they still defend NZ’s role in Afghanistan as having had good intentions- indeed they should be supported and listened to, a lot more than is the case at present.

Suicide has killed more than ten times as many Australian veterans of the war against the Afghan people as the Afghan freedom fighters did. I suspect those numbers are similar for the NZDF, although they’re good at kicking out soldiers at risk of suicide to decrease the embarrassment.
