Which "war" are you talking about? My opinion is that we should have started bombing Afghanistan soon after the attacks of 9/11, and continued until they surrendered and gave us bin ladan and/or the other al quada leaders.


Right. and many would agree with you. In fact, Afghanistan was a military success. The only problem is that instead of providing relief efforts for the surviving civilians and restoring the hospitals and schools, the soldiers were ordered to stand down and watch as Bush got bored and started a war someplace else.

Summarily I'm saying that if the time couldnt be taken to strategise and reduce civilian casualties as much as possible, then why the dawdle when it came to actually capturing Binny boy?


You also say that you would rather get to know th asian girl, simply because she wasnt wearing a burka...freedom at its finest i see.

Are you suggesting that disrespect fo burkas is being unsociable, or against freedom? I don't like the burka because of what it represents, and I don't like crucifixes either. When I was single, in my 20ā??s through mid-30ā??s, I would not date girls that wore the cross, or other religious symbols - and I certainly would not have bothered with a burka-bitch. I knew a girl of Jewish ethnicity who had a blind-date with a guy that showed up wearing a yarmica. She went out with him for dinner, but was mortified that someone that she knew would see her. If he'd shown up wearing a rag on his head, she probably wouldn't have even gone, lol.
That's understandable and I'll concede with your points. Touche.

hmmm....China continues to send spies into many different countries to steal their research, sign war treaties with the likes of russia and n. korea...and has generals that openly state that they are willing to use nukes against north america... but yet you state that China has no plans to assert itself militarily because they are "rational"

I'm hoping that if they get rational enough, which they seem to be going in the direction of, then perhaps most, or all, of their military actions will be for worthwhile reasons.
Millions dead must be worthwhile for something...isnt it?


It seems to be my understanding that Saddam was being rational when he let wepaons inspectors in his country, but the u.s. took over anyway.
Yes, I agree, but he's not stupid and already had a history of tyranny and genocide against him. He's a better person than bin laden and people of similar mentalities(which ain't saying much) .

Rational indeed.

What's also interesting is the fact that you think ive started my "very interesting" approach as a way to humor you...
If you have had an enlightening experience, and that is what you mean, then I am glad for you. Somehow, I donā??t think that this is the case.

"Very Interesting" was only funny when the very talented Artie Johnson, wearing a German officers' Army uniform did it on the old Rowen and Martinā??s Laugh-In TV show. It's OLD, and you're no Artie Johnson.

Thank you for the nostalgia. I had no idea that this fellow did the same thing. I guess we as humans aren't that much different after all.


Very interesting....
