"Afghanistan: Here's one we invaded earlier"
A programme about what has happened in Afghanistan since The UK & UK went and liberated some oppressed people from evil tyranny, and the promises made to help them live in a "free and terror free society".
It's basically going back and seeing the effects of the war, now that we've made exactly the same promises to Iraq.
A model of the future based on past efforts.
No idea if it'll be pro or anti, but it'll be interesting to watch.

Oh don't fret, that was simply thrown in to provoke certain people....
People who were against the Iraq war exercised their right to freedom of speech, and their right to protest. Now the people of Iraq have those rights, but those who protested did not give them to them, the invasion did.
See the Iraqi's protesting against the US presence ? That's the first real demonstration in Iraq for ages, previous ALL demos were state organized and often with regular conscripts used in civilian clothing.

No, sadly I only realised it was on halfway through.
Although I think comparisons to the Iraq war are easily justified - both were (at least according to the government at the START of the war) causing a threat to the western way of life, so we bombed the hell out of 'em. Hey, that'll make them hate us less, won't it?

It's quite amusing how you label someone who's against the Iraq war as pacifist.
So, any of you budding pacifists watch it ? I didn't, from the sarcasm implied in the title pretty obvious it was going to be anti-war, and comparisons to Iraq aren't really the same.
I think it's on just before the "prime time" viewing slot. I'll watch it if I get a chance, I'm pretty sure it'll be anti-war.

What time? I thought Jerry Maguire was on C4 tonight.
