Amazing, isnt it?

I'd say he's trolling to get a rise out of some people, but I think he might ACTUALLY feel this way. Talk about clueless.

Oh, I am not trolling. I am actually in the majority. Americans don't like giving money to crazy people to blow each other up when we have people in our own country that need health care and jobs, many of which are muslims and jews, and they are AMERICANS.

I am just going to guess a guy that trains horses for a living is not as educated as I am.

I love all you people who think you know everything about the world. I have been in 16 countries on 4 different continents. Most of you probably have never even lived more than a week outside the country.

I am a strict isolationist. I don't believe a country $10 trillion in debt that will be running a $2 trillion deficit in 2009 should give a nickel to neanderthal countries like Egypt and Israel. We should never have spent a nickel in Iraq either. This entire part of the world is still living in the stone ages.

Let's get down on our knees 5x a day to pray to God and then leave little girls in buildings to burn because they don't have on the right "headgear".

Or let's not mix milk and meat because God doesn't like it especially when we don't cover our head with a piece of cloth.

These are the type of wackos running countries. Ridiculous.

Should we really be surprised these crazy people have been killing each other for thousands of years.

I seemed to have been proven right on this over and over, just like the man who founded this country warned us.

That UN has worked out real well.

When they aren't screwing up the world they are molesting little girls all over the world. Great.

That globalization has worked real well too. Tell it to all the people that lost their manufacturing jobs to slave labor in China.

You are right. We should just pull out all of our intelligence gatherers and our military presence from the region. Let them go lawless for a decade or so, build up another Afghanistan or two. That'll end well.

The fact remains Chris, that we are not the only country in the world believe it or not. You, being Christopher Columbus, the world traveler, should realize this. Sometimes the crap that happens abroad has as much affect on the US as the domestic stuff, sometimes more. Are we to just look the other way??? I sure as $hit hope we wouldnt.

Last I checked it was our giving weapons to the Afghan army to fight the Russians that allowed the problems in Afghanistan to come about.

Learn something about history before making moronic statements.

The US created the Taliban with its ridiculous interventionist policies.

I'm sure that they would have been fine citizens of the USSR.

Yeah, last I checked the country of Afghanistan is virtually impossible to take over. If you think differently, go spend a few weeks there and explore the terrain. It is an impossible country to take over, which the idiots in our government are about to find out. Our intelligence agencies have said for decades that Afghanistan is a dead end for anyone that tries to occupy it.

Do us a favor. You do it. Enjoy it and stay there.

or, you could look at our aid to the afgans as one tool in our fight to win the cold war. you do know we won that, right?

We didn't need to give aid to Afghanistan and we still would have won the cold war. Afghanistan is impossible to take over.

Go watch a movie like Charlie Wilson's War and you will see how the US never wanted the Afghans to win the war, they just wanted the Russians bogged down there.

And you still don't address the fact that our aid to Afghanistan created the Taliban. I guess you just like to look past that part.

you're barking up the wrong tree if you think i will go watch a movie to get an actual, usable history lesson. do you think the movie jfk was real too? and i would disagree that we didn't need to give aid. if the ussr was for something, generally it would be bad for the u.s. you do remember that we were their sworn enemy?
we also backed iraq when they fought iran-that probably gives you the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.

Kind of like you and my question of what we are to do as a country if and when the Israelis and Palestinians blow each other off the map??

Sit back and finish off our cheddar fries?

I suppose our aid to Iraq created Saddam and our aid to Iran created the ayatollahs too?

You said this while looking into a mirror and thought it would be a good one, right?

We gave the weapons to the Afghans??? Get out!! Thanks for the history lesson.

makes you wonder what chris would do if he was walking down the street and witnessed a guy attacking a girl. i'm betting he'd pull his hat down a bit lower, stick his hands in his pockets, begin to whistle and act nonchalant, while pretending not to see what was happening. after all, it's not chris' problem. people get attacked every day, why should he care?
there were isolationists back during WW2 as well..
fact remains, altho the 'majority' chris proclaims to speak for may feel we should remain locked in our own little world, the realities of these situations is quite different. anyone other than uneducated horse trainers (j/k cannon, i'm cracking wise because of a certain remark above somewhere) would know that you don't pretend to not see what's going on, especially when it's your allies taking the heat. thankfully for this country, we were the recipient of aid back when we needed it. and now, altho we may not be quite as rich as we thought we were, we can certainly take care of our own, as well as those abroad who are less fortunate. especially when it's one of the lone democracies in that area. we have influence, and have every reason to use it-always wisely hopefully.
