    Bring our troops home now. Try cheney-shrub-rumsfeld in the world court for their war crimes.

    Yes I know it’s unlikely to happen.

    My history teacher in college said there will always be wars…because wars are exciting. The peasant in the fields laboring to feed his wife and children, living a drab existence, will suddenly feel the sense of purpose in his life, and the adrenaline flows when he picks up a gun and with his fellow compatriots, march off to save the village/country/fatherland/motherland/nest.

    ^ Right, because toiling in the fields to feed one’s family isn’t a purpose in life. :-|

    Your history teacher, kreole, should have taught you that there will always be wars because men will always make power grabs for more land. Wars are started by leaders, not by peasants in the fields! We originally got involved in Iraq over a land dispute.

    kreole’s history teacher’s analysis is almost exactly a synopsis of Jean-Luc Godard’s Les Carabiniers.

    I’m sorry Afghanistan, you let the nutjobs in!

    We knew they were way out there when they blew up the Buddahs. But you just let them do their thing.

    You’re not Iraq! You started this, you could have ended it by delivering Bin Ladden and his boyos. You didn’t.

    This is what happens when crazy people hear too much violent religious rhetoric, adopt practices that were barbaric by 11th century standards, and let terrorists take over their country

    RV,

    Is that why we went into Afghanistan? I thought it was bringing democracy? btw, How’d we do getting bin Laden?

    It occurs to me that OJ Simpson was about as likely to find Nicole’s real killer as he vowed to do, as Bush was likely to find Bin Laden, which he also vowed to do…

    I remember waking up one Sunday morning to the drum beat of “We Got HIM!” (Saddam Hussein) and thinking, that’s not the ‘him’ we were after…

    At least Shrub got even with Saddam for trying to kill George I. Of course thousands of people died to accomplish that, but they weren’t relatives so didn’t count.

    killbillvs007,

    “Is that why we went into Afghanistan? I thought it was bringing democracy? ”

    You thought wrong. But that just means that you have another think coming!

    Every American should read “Every Man In This Village is a Liar” by Megan Stack. She describes the (nasty) world of dictators, and those who are “collateral damage” to American ignorance.
