Still waiting for the groundswell of imams denouncing terrorism

Agreed but perhaps your blaming the wrong people.

No, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz will someday answer to a higher power than me.


The world will be far worse off if "they" (I think you really mean "we") use nukes anywhere.

Yes so we hamstring our troops with worry about civilians, so tell me have the Taliban taken to wearing shoulder patches?

The only thing in this post I can't disagree with.

Afghanistan is one big cesspit we should merely leave it to its own devices. We send fortunes in aid to these countries whenever there is a disaster, are we thanked? Not bloody likely. Where was the aid from the rich ME countries for Haiti?, for Katrina?. For any of the disasters that seem to be increasing. Don't hold your breath.
