   Hate to admit it, Mr. Morin, but I agree with the sign on the right.

   I wonder how many countries have broken teeth trying to chew on that country?

   Start counting with Alexander the Great of Macedonia;the Kahn boys (Gengis/Kublai); Great Britain; USSR and now the late, great US of A!

   I say leave them to stew in their own juices and let the Muslim countries around it keep it boxed in.

   We need out troops home NOW!!! We have MUCH better use for them here protecting our own shores/borders.

   yep right you are. but say isn’t Afghanistan the proud owner of very precious rare earths? Oh that’s right. They sell those to China like Canadian oil……. LOL

   The Chinese aren’t stupid, if you control the world market on rare earth metals. you essentially own the computer industry

   ( Can’t make microprocessors without ’em. )

   As to Bill Ewing’s suggestions, I don’t think the miltiary should be guarding our borders…but I would have no problem with the money we’re currentty throwing at Afghanistan being used instead to beef up the Border Patrol. ( And the Coast Guard, not all illegals arrive by land. )

   I’d rather spend the money saved on medical research which would better protect Americans than the waste of foolish war.

   Alexander the Great won in Afghanistan and founded a kingdom that lasted for centuries.

   LIbby: let’s see how YOU react if we blow YOUR KIDS brains out! Let’s bomb YOUR HOUSE, kill YOUR GOATS, and burn YOUR FIELDS, and see how “happy” you are!

   
   Now consider you (which you definitely are NOT) a member of a culture that has driven out every oppressor invader in history, because you don’t give up.

   
   Now, believing the Universe was created in six days, complete with dinosaurs and men living together, and a guy built an ark and put all the critters in the world on it, or that a guy who promised to come back, IN YOUR LIFETIME, has been waiting around for 2,000 years, just because the bus was late? But he’ll come back, destroy the world, but give YOU a ride on a magic cloud called heaven? THAT is “crazy”!

   I agree with you 100%! I say pull all aid, troops and everything else and let them fend for themselves!
