Re: Australia should pull out of Afghanistan
With the greatest of respect, Russtafa, I don't think it will make much difference to Afghanistan if Australian troops go home; you will at least save lives and money; and there are other ways of tackling extemist politics, whether or not its threat to Australia is at home or targeted at Australians abroad.

Re: Australia should pull out of Afghanistan
Over 6,000 American brave men and women have lost their lives in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The economic cost of the war for U.S. taxpayers will run to over $3 trillion.
Is it worth it?
One simply does a simple cost-benefit analysis. I mean, the costs are to the brave soldiers... and their families (who pay a huge price) and the taxpayers.
And the benefits go to who or whom? Well, Dick Cheney's old company. And defense companies. And oil companies.
It's the same with Australia. Who pays the costs? Simple. Soldiers and their families. And taxpayers. Like you.
And, again, who benefits.
American journalist Robert Young Pelton said that you go to war to make money. Again, the benefits go to a small number of highly paid executives in oil companies, defense companies etc. etc.
The British economist Adam Smith said that merchants and manufacturers (today: corporations) are going to pursue their own interests (namely profits) regardless of the grievous impact on others. We are certainly bearing witness to this. Sadly.

Re: Australia should pull out of Afghanistan
So how are we to credit anything you say, russtafa, when you make such declarations? Surely you're a better person than you let on.
