But NATO & especially US should change their policy towards afghan peoples. They should avoid afghan civilians deaths at any cost during raids against terrorists.vipul baradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920939489130503020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058290.post-28821417414852325202010-07-31T21:56:53.875+01:002010-07-31T21:56:53.875+01:00Would be great if after a suspicious death, (maybe...Would be great if after a suspicious death, (maybe involving rhubarb?)

So you were the reader... Yes, sorry...Thanks Vipul. So you were the reader... Yes, sorry, I was busy with the Open golf and Wimbledon and just lacking time. Will try to keep blogging if you keep encouraging me.<br /><br />One of the issues about WikiLeaks is that American justice has failed to protect journalists' anonymous sources and so for some this is the only way of getting information into the public domain. <br /><br />I am worried that lives have been put at risk by this, though. A couple of months ago I went to see an Afghan refuge in London, where children had been sent to Britain by their parents who feared they would be killed for helping the Americans. One child, who was only about 16, had an uncle who was a Taleban commander and wanted his father to help them fight. His father refused, so the Taleban cut his arm off with a penknife and then hanged him. The mother sent her son out of the country in fear that they would do the same to him.<br /><br />Whatever you think of US policy in Afghanistan, many people feel (myself included) that getting rid of the Taleban and allowing the Afghans to live without such terror is a good thingPaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17790241838601339104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058290.post-81079685541033956782010-07-31T13:14:22.286+01:002010-07-31T13:14:22.286+01:00Welcome back, i thought u gone for long vacation w...Welcome back, i thought u gone for long vacation without informing your blog readers. Lol. <br /><br />What 'Wikileaks' done is right thing. They did put some lives on the risk, but end of the day their work is appreciable. US govt need to change its Afghan policy.vipul baradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920939489130503020noreply@blogger.com
