A New Kabul

That is probably not the dumbest idea ever. Of course there's a few problems: For one, I don't think that one can plan 30 years ahead in Afghanistan before the last remains of the Taliban are removed. Such a project would make them really mad.

Secondly, those planned cities don't really work. Be it a new quartier (like we have here) or a whole city, these things are always lifeless monsters. In small scale, there are numerous social problems. Big structures of that kind don't seem to have the 'spark' grown cities have.

But good luck to them. I really wish that country the best.

I pity Kabul!

Part of any plan to change Afghanistan is risk-taking. The common folk there need to see tangible results even in the midst of their fight for freedom. Even if this fails, it won't necessarily be a sign of a larger failure.

Development of any kind is a good sign. If someone's willing to invest money, they must be optimistic about the future.

Agreed. It's interesting at the same time that the developers are proceeding with this now. They must be convinced that the U.S. is staying regardless of the election results.

Well duh, why wouldn't people invest money when the future is looking better and better every month.

You'd think someone would be happy about, but no, Cass even bitches about progress now.

She just wants announcements like this to be delayed until Barry takes over so she can claim he magically made everything better.

I know the UK is going to be there for another 10 years at least.

You really are among the Top 3 dumb fucks on this board. At least wait until page 2 with the lying - some of your buddies might be too lazy to look what I actually said.

Raising points is not automatically bitching.

For the record: THIS IS A GOOD THING.

There, good enough for you? Got it now?

^So, you finally read my initial post

You're the dumb bitch who thinks that Afghanistan is not going to be any better off in 30 years than they are now.

You're trying to have it both ways, Cass. First you say it's not a bad idea. Then you say it won't work.

If that's what you think I said, better put me on ignore. Because, well, 90% of my posts will be well above your IQ.

You just don't get it.

THIS IS A GOOD THING....but still one of the dumbest ideas ever. Plus it won't work.

But its still a good thing.

The idea of actually doing something in that country is very welcome. The criticism of planned cities is of a general nature. The former outweights the latter by far.

You guys want to find something, don't you

I guess it would be a better idea not to plan for the future just so that we don't piss off the Taliban.

It is typical lib thinking, though. Doesn't matter whether you really believe something. Just so that you do anything at all to show how much you care.

I thought it was a bad idea because Afghanistan shouldn't piss off the Taliban?

^ Whatever you want to read. Ciao.

Typical.

Translation: 'I am too stupid to read '

I thought she was gone on 20.

So, no answer? No opinion? Just Whack-the-Liiiieberal together with a Canadian retard?

See 25 in ref. to 20.

Thought you were gone but I guess that was too much to hope for...

I guess you must have missed my question.

So I'll ask it again.

Is it a bad idea because Afghanistan shouldn't piss off the Taliban?

Heavens to Betsy, man! Don't you know we should be quaking in our shoes?

Or in Cass' case, jackboots?

Help me understand you. Where do you think I implied that? Gimme a quote, 'k?
