Afghanistan
Afghans Protest NATO Killings
2010-08-13
[Tolo News] Foreign forces killed 3 Afghan civilians and arrested 5 others on Wednesday night in the central Maidan Wardak province

Residents in the central Maidan Wardak province on Thursday protested against the killing of 3 civilians and the arrest of 5 others by NATO forces in the province's Zarin Khil area on Wednesday night.

Protesters have blocked the Kabul-Ghazni highway to prevent the traffic.

The protesters who were shouting anti-American and anti-government slogans, said the murdered civilians were university students in the capital Kabul who had come to the province for holidays.

The demonstrators were also shouting that foreigners have not come to build Afghanistan, but are here to create problems.

The Police Chief of Maidan Wardak, Nawad Haqyar, confirmed the killings, but refused to give further details about the incident.

#5  Re #2: The difference is that Americans and NATO troops do not go into a village and kill anyone who protests against them.

#3  The demonstrators were also shouting that foreigners have not come to build Afghanistan, but are here to create problems.

The demonstrators are actually right about this.

In 2001 foreigners came to Afghanistan not to build the country but to hunt down and kill create problems for Islamofascists.

The specific reason was that that these people



who were members of an organization based in and sheltered by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan came to the US and did this:



and this



and this



and this



After this tragedy massacre, President Bush declared that "We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them."

Days later he issued an ultimatum

"These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Taliban must act, and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists, or they will share in their fate."

which that the Taliban ignored.

Hence Operation Infinite Justice Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan.

Sorry for repeating myself.

I guess that means we got a bunch of the Taliban bad boys then.

Remember the-wedding-party-in-the-desert-at-3am story.

These guys do have a flair for the tale, ya think?
