At least 1,000 protesters have staged a demonstration outside the main US base of Bagram in Afghanistan.

The demonstrators, chanting "Die America", were angry at the arrest of a number of villagers on Monday night. Some threw stones at military vehicles.

Piles of tyres were burned on the main road near the base, sending clouds of black smoke billowing over the area.

Eyewitness say US troops fired warning shots at the demonstrators. The US military are denying this .../...

  • Nice that Afghans demonstrate, in order to show the world how democracy American style works. This is also an incentive for Iraqis, millions of demonstrants in Bagdhad will change the political landscape.

    For the U.S: if that is all you can do, detain and torture, you give us proof what we already knew to good.

    • Send the US invaders home.

      Al Quaeda the Frankenstein monster created by the West to take over from the Soviet Union as an excuse for arms spending, invasion, and austere legislation at home.

    • What we need now is for Jesus to come back and lead a white Christian army over there and kick some brown Muslim ass.Five bullets in every head should do the job.

    • Chuck Norris ?

    • No. Nothing less than ’The Commander In Chief’ should shoulder up or shut up, taking with him all the Christian retreads he can find. Like the Waffen SS belt buckle said "God Mit Uns". john

    • Oh, so thats what jesus would do.

    • To tell you the truth: last night I spoke to Jesus and he told me that he is not in support for white fascists troops of America. Bad news for American christians: you are not christians at all.

    • Oh come now we all know that Christ was a murdering savage rifle toting army fatigues waring redneck sent down here by God to wipe out villages, murder women and children with daisy cutter bombs, starve them, destroy their families and their childrens lives, drop bombs on them and destroy their homes Israeli style (Jesus was a Jew). And then just like any other real Jew, steal their land and resources......The USA is a Christian nation after all.

    • We should let all the Jesus freaks and Allah lovers have a big fucking fight in big football stadia. No guns -(cowards weapons)- but fists, cudgels and clubs.
      We could all pay to get in , (the cash going to the underdeveloped countries) and cheer those morons on tearing lumps out of each other.
      Any politician that puts forward that idea gets my vote.

    • How about mano e mano, like Bush vs Saddam. Chenney vs Osama. Chemical Ali vs Donald. Condi and the Biologcal Iraq Research lady they both have Phd’s, and probably could have an intelligent chat, Bagdad Bob and any White House spokesperson willing to take him on...etc etc.. you get the idea. George could start it all off with ’bring em on’

    • Its strange you should mention jesus i think if he could see the world today he would be a sick man.5 bullets in every head you have good revenue for the american arms companies there.People like you are sick and should seek help.People like you BREED TERRORISM!

    • This is a very confusing message to say the least. Collect your thoughts and try again if you wish to be understood. john
