Talking To the Taliban

[infamous_p]

Two videos that I found very interesting:

A British man discussing the controversy of "political correctness" in the Western world and the ways in which it has and continues to harm us and our society in the midst of the war.

Secondly, the Globe and Mail's "Talking to the Taliban":

Scroll through the video segment reel at the bottom of the video screen to view videos of reporter commentaries, and interviews with members of the Taliban.

This Brit must be my long most twin brother!    At any rate, I'm going to start a fan club for this guy! Two thumbs up on your video, my friend! If I find myself in London, I'll buy ya a pint or two!

The Taliban interviews (second link) are quite interesting.  A lot of them were drivers before they joined.  They consistently describe the "British-Canadian" soldiers in Kandahar as "strong".  They are vaguely aware of NATO.  They mostly don't know precisely where Canada is, but are aware that it's a neighbour of the United States.  Surprisingly few are aware of George Bush.

Of course, it's also annoying to see the interviewer ask the Taliban's opinion of Stephen Harper, or Stephane Dion, for crying out loud.

It's interesting to hear their viewpoint about NATO being created for the <b>sole</b> purpose of destroying Islam everywhere.
