Yes, and it has come back to haunt us. Yes, Nit you have a point.
The latest rounds that get me steamed is the 320 million in aid to them. Are we nuts? We will be giving this food to the enemy (Taliban) Jesus, I mean come on, this is ridiculous. If we want to win their hearts over, go kick the shit out of the Taliban, teach them to be self sufficient (like we did with Japan) and then they will see the error of their way.
We helped Japan rebuild and never even came close to wiping out who they are and what their religous beliefs are. So that argument is mute.
Yes, we have little kittens in power, Colin and Condaleaza being the biggest, then Rumsfield and then Bush, I sure hope they are gonna start this party with a big bang and end it that way too.
