What did we expect?

Optimism in Afghanistan has slumped in the past year amid worsening violence, an ABC/BBC poll has found. While a majority remain hopeful about the future, the mood has darkened because of concern over the resurgent Taleban, poverty and corruption.

I think it’s an insult to Afghans to be surprised that they becoming pessimistic after being liberated from the Taliban. They too have seen what has happened in Iraq and America; they see the squabbling and bickering in the West. What reason do they have to be optimistic? We have the most sophisticated and professional army in the world thrashing the daylights out of terrorist scum in the streets of Baghdad, yet their political masters back home are tearing each other to pieces looking for any reason to raise the white flag. Can anyone tell me of any major battle that coalition forces have lost to terrorists? Yet the way we carry on, is like the world is gone and Americans, their armies decimated, are engaged in some sort of civil war at home against conquering jihadists.

Afghans, like much of the world [apart from nuanced liberals] see it as a sign of weakness, when the westerner slits his wrists over the humiliation of a few prisoners in some jail somewhere. Perhaps they have also heard of San Francisco, the city that seems to hate the soldiers that guarantee their livelihoods. In this new world of instant communications, they too see fools in videos questioning the need for a military, redeploying to peaceful Japan or whining like insolent brats when a US Soldier, after a hard day dodging RPGs, suicide bombs and IEDs whilst checking his wretched Geneva conventions booklet, were to shove some civilian out of his way.

Afghans see NATO in their country, there to keep the peace, but scared to engage the Taliban because their tough-talking political masters lack the necessary spinal density, so why would an Afghan chose to side with NATO, why should they sell out a Taliban traitor in their midst, when they might be hung out to dry one day for collaborating. For the benefit of our liberal readers, they don’t organize an online petition or protest-march to show their feelings towards collaborating; they prefer ropes and hot lead.

As for the media, it’s funny how they show death and carnage day in day out, perfect the art of lazy-journalism, overlook every success and act of bravery by our military, whore themselves to jihadist propaganda, report lies and then they feign surprise when their viewers think that things aren’t going too well.

There was also a bit of lamenting, in the article, over the growing opium poppy production in Afghanistan, stopping the criticism at the Pakistan border would only makes sense to a liberal. Last I checked Afghans aren’t producing opium to fill their cars or feed the donkeys, but for western consumption, and what are westerner liberals doing about drugs back home while they point fingers over poppy cultivation? Only leftists are too stupid to understand that stopping drug use back home will ensure the opium gets tossed in far-away Afghanistan.

The shameful reality is that as liberals grow optimistic that they may gain control of the white house, the oppressed around the world will grow more pessimistic, you see liberals are all for a free world, just not supporting those who try to free it, let alone for freeing it.

I’m sure there will soon be a poll coming out of Iraq with similar results as the plans are drawn up to let go of victory. Best cut the poor bastards loose now, no stomach here folks, we have more important things to get back to like disposing of unborn babies, gay marriage and coddling criminals.
