Screw Them

Huge majorities of Afghans reject Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, approve the US military role in their country and are grateful to international bodies like the United Nations. A survey by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) at the University of Maryland found strong support for President Hamid Karzai, 81 percent of Afghans polled think Al-Qaeda is a negative influence in the world, with only six percent saying they are a positive influence. Osama bin Laden, once sheltered by the Taliban militia, has even lower ratings, with 90 percent of those polled saying they had an unfavorable view of him and 81 percent saying they view the Taliban unfavorably.

These are people who want our help, so why have we diverted our attention towards Iraq?

They have no oil.
