  • Afghanistan

    I have no doubt that we will leave Afghanistan as losers in their war. A very wrong turn.

  • Recent US led Afghan Airstrike Violate International Law

    International Law is explicit about civilian protection, including but not limited to Article 51, 52 and 57 of Protocol 1 of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. Violation of these articles are demonstrable by the recent U.S. raid on an Afghan Village as reported in early May of 2009. Article 51: Protection of the civilian population Paragraph ...

  • Re: Declare war on Pakistan

    GreenwichJ: . The Pashtun up in the North West see Punjabi government in Islamabad as almost as foreign as Nato forces in Afghanistan, and will happily kill Punjabis with impunity. Not to belabour a cliche, but violence really is the only language they understand. To beat the Taliban we need to pour troops over the border, clear and burn the ...

  • Re: Slate How Bush & Rice Bungled

    Fred's, ''opinion'' demonstrates how little he understands the geopolitik of the region. General Musharraf is probably the only one who can guarantee a relatively stable Pakistan and surrounding region. Though his days maybe numbered now. Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif may be civilian hopes, but they are nothing more than good looking props for ...

  • Conservative Christmas

    The current situation is a dream come true for all the Cold War lovers who felt unfulfilled without a global enemy. Why should anyone be surprised that the Bush administration ignored a warning they received just a few weeks before 9/11/01 that Al Quaeda planned to attack the U.S. using aircraft? How could anyone be surprised that bin Laden was ...
