    What utter BS, bin Laden and the Taliban do not have the greater support and are not popular, they are feared. Let me save you some suspense, the local denziens or indigenous population are just trying to get by, and actually prefer the US. Unfortunately the US is not there at their side 24/7, the Taliban/Al Qaeda seize on those away moments and will kill or maim anyone who helps the US/NATO. These people have little choice of they want to survive, they have families they need to care for too, so giving up their lives by fighing means giving up their families' lives.

    While we are at it, for the rest of right wingers that continually condemn Muslims, note, Muslims are serving in the US military and the DoD quite honorably

    I didn't know that you guys are now openly admitting Obama is a muslim. When did this 180 degree turn around happen?

    Well, my impression is that you are a simple country boy with little education and no real interest in any of these subjects.. an armchair pundit who loves a soundbite.. Sorry.

    But nothing the extreme-right think has to do with anything but race-hate, surely? What does it matter what else they believe?

    Question: why should America have any sort of "status" in the Middle East beyond an economic one?

    Yet you just posted bragging that you have a Ph D. :no:

    You are a lefty, so I guess contradicting ones self just comes with the territory.

    This whole liberal/conservative school yard nonsense is indicative of the deterioration of the American political process.


    Bumpersticker slogans, simplistic labels, widespread ignorance, hatred of other citizens, automatic dismissal of other's perspectives because of those simplistic labels, inability to listen, almost a complete lack of critical thinking, widespread ignorant punditry.

    Seems on the political front, americans are more concerned about fighting the opposition than they are about solving the country's problems. Common sense need not be applied, partisan tactics rule the day. Power is the only goal.

    the astonishing part is that America still thinks its crap don't stink.

    It wouldn't take much more than some rational and selfless co-operation to solve america's problems of the day. Many a time in the past the american people have risen to the challenge. Doesn't look promising at this point.

    I have never been a liberal, not ever. The last Liberal in our family was my gt-grandfather, the last of that ilk on our County Council for forty years or so.

    Yes, of course - but it is now dying horribly, still as a result of the warcrimes of Bush (and our Bliar, or course, who saved him the price of toilet paper).
