Haven't lived the real world ay, that old fur coat desperados always revert to when anyone opposes their ignorant views. You don't need to be a journalist or shut in journalist to realise that your puerile ramblings have no basis in fact whatsoever. There is nothing I have stated that any member of your Government, or politician, be it Democrat, Republic or anyone with half a brain would disagree with. Let me put this in simple terms, terms that even someone who feels the need to simplify all the problems of the world to a juvenile level may understand. The U.S Government went to war with Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, partly because they were shielding AQ yes, but nonetheless there is very little distinction between the beliefs of the Taliban, Mujahadeen and the many goals they share with Alqueda. Alqueda is largely a name anyway for a collection of groups and tribes who want rid of the prescence of US and British troops not just in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also in Saudi Arabia. In fact, it was actually this prescence in Saudi Arabia that activated Bin Laden politically. The actual number of Alqueda operatives can only be guessed at by intelligence services, but they're pretty much irrelevant anyway seeing as the main reason for the war in Afghanistan is to defeat the Taliban as well as the ideology behind extremist forms of Islam. Let's take your logic to another scenario for instance. A large group of 250 crack dealers are locked up. In your world this means the war on drugs is over. Only it's not cos there are many more willing to step into their shoes, mainly because the root causes of hopelessness, depravation and communities where drugs and violence thrive remain. Likewise, no matter how much you simplify the war against the Taliban, Al-Queda and it's connected, like minded groups no-one with even the tiniest degree of intelligence would state that the war against these groups is anywhere near over. We'd all like to be able to simplify life's problems to make us feel better, but anyone with the so-called REAL LIFE experience that you talk about would understand it doesn't work like that. Anyway, this subject matter is veering further away from the intended purposes of this site, and it seems pointless trying to explain even simple political fact to a man who reverts to simplify everything to suit his own views. As for your childish insults, pathetic.
I can't even be bothered to reply to them, water off a duck's back. Take my advice, stick to making those F.B.I's gonna getcha warnings about not showing your DVD to anyone, even your dog and telling yourself the F.B.I are running the world. |
