Seems that you can't handle the truth, mickban. Once upon a time, prior to 911, we Ozzies were loved by the Afghans - even the conservative Pashtun's. Suspicion and mistrust grew with the allied invasion, but has now morphed in to hatred in some quarters following the alleged atrocities perpetrated by a minority of our soldiers. The only thing this war has accomplished for Australia is to paint targets on our backs. The French/Afghan war comparison made by Pinto is a valid one.
