Who knows....what the percentage was...but none the less if other countries go in and invade yours and you feel good about it..your country has serious problems to begin with
The turks russians and soviets are not terrorists.
The taliban had full control of Afghanistan and are terrorists.
You do understand the Taliban are widely recognized terrorists correct?
What difference does that make? None.
The soviet union posed a far greater threat to the west than Taliban ever have.
How can you be in support of the Taliban?
Excuse me?
You are against taking out the Taliban..its pretty self explanatory
If I am against it, it is because I don't believe it is possible.
I find your leap to another conclusion brash and grossly blinkered.
You do understand the people want us there and do not want to be under terrorist control.
Do you propose we let terrorists grow unchecked as they have in the past?
There is no giant leap to conclusions....how can one not be in support of taking out the terrorists......whether one thinks its possible to take them out is another issue
You saw Charlie Wilson's War? Keep in mind the U.S. was perfectly happy to throw in with the Afgans when it served our geopolitical aspirations. We were there, and then we left, now we are back. Although my understanding is that the organization Taliban did not exist until after the Afgan Civil War (approx 1990), the Russians would have surely described the Afgans fighting them as terrorists. Just remember one persons terrorist is another person's freedom fighter.
The Iraqi's weren't happy about it, not at all. But, once Saddam was gone, and the country was descending into chaos, many saw the need for the occupation. That doesn't in anyway justify the invasion tho, I'm sure the majority of Iraqis would rather not need the US/UK forces in their neighbourhoods.
Remove the current system and replace it with a hereditary, meritocratic aristocracy.
:24: No, seriously
It's been fun to watch you over the years. When you first got here, you were definitely left of center. Now you are further right of center than you were left. So what's the change?
When I saw this thread, I was just tempted to write "Everything" just for the hell of it lol.
