YAY DEMOCRACY...

#1

Mawlawi Mohammed Islam Mohammadi, who was the Taliban's governor of Bamiyan province when the fifth-century Buddha statues were blown up with dynamite and artillery in March 2001, was chosen to represent the neighboring province of Samangan, according to results posted by the U.N.-Afghan election organizers. Election law did not bar former Taliban officials from participating in the Sept. 18 polls.

:shock:

:roll: That's it,.. let's re-develop countries and establish them as democracies and what are they going to do, vote the same goddam tyrants into office.

Shit, I say we pull a American election special on them, and say "Chuck Norris is your newly elected overlord." and then we torch their opium fields while they try and figure out who the hell even nominated "Walker: Texas Ranger."
...

``Many of the winners are linked to armed groups or drugs,'' said Ahmad Fahim Hakim, deputy director of the state-sponsored Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, referring to a booming trade in heroin and opium.

``The number of elected lawmakers who are honest and interested in reform may be tiny compared to the regional strongmen who are only interested in themselves.''

oh, by the way,..

A bomb also exploded on a main road in the south and killed an Afghan guard working for an American security company and wounded two others. Fighting has escalated in Afghanistan in the past six months, leaving more than 1,400 people dead and raising fears for the country's nascent democracy.

I feel sick....

... and we'll see a repeat of this same sort of story in Iraq when we've 'established democracy' there.

QUOTE\"Chuck Norris is your newly elected overlord.\" and then we torch their opium fields while they try and figure out who the hell even nominated \"Walker: Texas Ranger.\"

LMFAO!!!! Very nice Raum.......and oh, so true!

They (people in that part of the world) are not capable of governing themselves in any way shape or form......they only know how to function under an iron fist type regime.....I say fuck it, let'em have it.

This only happens because the people there are not happy and these old tyrans know how to play on the feelings of these people. The same thing happened in Eastern Europe as well. Even without the interference of the USA.

People want back what they got because then they know what is going on. People in general don‚´t like changes....

Iran is next, and you heard it here first...At least I hope so, cause I need a claim to fame...

I don't think the Americans are dumb enough to invade. lol They'll just get the EU to do their dirty work. lol

And this same situation may occur in Iraq because I remember something about de-Ba'athification being taken out of the constitution. They had to please the Sunni minority! :roll:

no Taliban prescence means many, many McDonald's and reality TV...they might be thinking..."hey, this chopping off heads and burkas hiding my hot wife-to-be...well it ain't all that bad"
