Afghan Numbers

[KeithD]

So ministers have made it very clear over the last few days that one of the reason we went into Afghanistan was to help save the British public.

So in the time since the invasion over 200 troops have died and abour 50 members of the public in terrorist attacks (which has sod all to do with Afghanistan but added them to make up the numbers )

On this we have spent £BILLIONS

Since we went into this war over 10,000 members of the British public have died on our roads due to drink, drugs, bad driving, texting, speeding, etc

Cost of the governments input to stop this genocidal slaughter is in the £MILLIONS

Am I missing something?

We all heard the terrorist line. Yeah its true, I buy it. They are scum and use fear and violence to rule by an iron hand and put women as dogs.

In my mind thinking we are doing it for a good reason. Considering how the men treat the Afghan women/chlildren I think it needs dragged into the modern ages for their sake. But we cannot change things overnight, just push them into the light. Hmm that sounds too righteous. But it is a good cause if it helps this example- a girl who was 9 years old being married to 60 year old guy. He beat her, treat her like a dog, and sold her for sex to his "friends"
Afghan women need to kick these low lives asses.
