Slayer you have posted some pictures that were taken seven years after the initial invasion. Sure, there are cars, even a BMW on the streets but these pictures do not illustrate the sufferings of the people that had there country illegally invaded.
It is possible to argue that the invaders are guilty of genocide. The after effects of these horrific last years will live on for a very long time.
There are many Afghani's that will be forever scarred by these events. The United States has a long history of these kinds of crimes.
Time for a change, I think.

Here we go again with the "illegal" Bull crap. Let's see exactly where the UN stated it was illegal? Every time somebody mentions that I always have to laugh. Let's see the official UN documentation of it being illegal then we can talk. Kofis Annens opinions during an interview doesn't count as an official UN deceleration of illegality by the way.
Now there is a rather interesting perspective. Let me guess... you believe all that BS about "Millions" killed in Iraq? You'll probably quote the flawed Lancet Survey
When you step down off of your soap box read up on the Northern Alliance and who really kicked the Taliban Government to the street. Contrary to POP-Culture Internet opinion the majority of Afghans DO NOT want the Taliban back in power.

If you want to play the numbers game, what about 600,000 in the secret bombings of Cambodia? I could go on.
The Ho Chi Minh trail was a logistical system that ran from the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) to the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) through the neighboring kingdoms of Laos and Cambodia.
President Nixon points out the NVA sanctuaries along the Cambodian border in his speech to the American people announcing the Cambodian incursion.

BS. Does anyone on ATS even have a clue what genocide really is, or do they just like to throw the word around, like "False Flag"?
Did US Troops go into Iraq, round up anyone that looked Iraqi, and kill every man, woman and child? Nope, they didn't. Guess that means genocide didn't happen.
