yeah I know you all know this already. But some things need multiple perspectives to understand when a thing is an isolated incident and to know that in fact, it is policy.

A word about the video segment and its maker.
A tragedy how quintessentially evil men, psychopathic cowards, can manipulate the minds of children to do their murderous bidding…..but this is islam…the religion of peace.
The maker of this segment is called “Vice”….they are Left of center politically but they make some bloody excellent mini-documentaries that cut through the bullshit and show us sides of life rarely seen.
Here is their YouTube site:

and here is an excellent documentary made by Vice that deals with the festering sore of murder, crime, corruption, drugs, pedophilia, death and madness that is Kabul, Afghanistan…..its well worth the watch.

Even if we already know it, it’s important to see it again as it makes us realised more and more the reality of this intolerable truth.
I beg to differ with the characterization of ‘excellent’ as applied to these videos. Do they capture reality on the ground as witnessed at that moment. Yes, to their credit. However, as the film winds down, the dialog indicates they each throw their hands up and contemplate there is no solution and this conflict will go on forever. What utter bullshit. A real documentary wouldn’t seek only one author whose bias is clearly on one side. A thorough documentary would explore all sides of the history in each conflict and leave the audience to come to it’s own conclusions.
In this film, it’s too one sided to be called a documentary. These fellas could put their talents to good use, beginning with an extended visit to a library and reviewing the vast resources available to them detailing the entire history of the region before drawing mindless, inshallah conclusions.
Dear WTD,
try to be a little less obtuse…..and actually read my comment and then actually go to the channel and watch some of their work on Pakistan and Kabul…..as I noted, they are Left of center….so ignore their editorializing and simply watch the video…..you took great pains to point out the obvious……these guys are not Frontline…….but its a snapshot into a world very few of us see….take it for what its worth…..

I wonder what the World Scouting Association in London thinks of this? Or maybe I know, after all, Baden Powell invented concentration camps for use in South Africa on the Boers…

Like I said, when the political angle comes up Vice leans to the Left, and that is unfortunate but, the redeeming quality is they take you to some really edgy places….you should look up some of their work in Gaza and Pakistan……

They need to learn more about radiation and dirty bombs, the number killed would be much less then they say, and it would be cleaned up in a month or less.
