Topaz Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 The countries that are in Afghanistan are also giving money to the Afg. government that is suppose to go to help the people, but instead its making its way to the Taliban. There's a numbers of Canadians that don't think we should be in Afghanistan because its useless when the government itself is so corrupt and that money could go to other countries who would appreciate more or even here at home. The sadness thing about this war are the people from different countries that have died for the Afghanistan government and they do this to us. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/army-launches-investigation-corrupt-afghans-stealing-millions-from-aid-funds-1917436.html Quote
groupeii Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 The country is a hole. Waste of time and money and lives to even look at the place. Quote
Sir Bandelot Posted March 7, 2010 Report Posted March 7, 2010 The governments and militaries of foreign countries know that these things would happen, as they happen all the time. War means money and good business, for the profiteers. They make a killing on the arms deals, the land and oil contracts, the security contracts. And they steal it outright from government funds intended to be used for infrastructure re-building. Even when they do build something, it's usually a billion dollar piece of crap. So now here we see, it's not just the Afghanis who are corrupt, it's also the foreigners who are involved in the business side of this mission. That is not a big surprise to me. The irony is that we can't win, if our own greed and corruption is being used against us. The snake finally eats its own tail. Quote
