Contrary to popular belief, there is a big difference between a pacifist and a coward.


Call it what you want. When you fail to do what is necessary, when you want someone else to do what you don't want to do, that is cowardice. You know as well as I, if the enemy had a "pacifist" by the throat and was going to cut it much like the murderers did the flight attendants, they'd rather have anyone but a pacifist come to their assistance. Nationally, we are in a situation where the enemy wants to have us by the throat. There are no "pacifists" in such a situation. There are cowards who'd rather lose their sovereignty than confront evil. Fortunately, as has been the case down through the course of Amercian history, there are men of character and leaders of backbone, in the right places to rise to the fight.

A certain way to insure more deaths of innocent lives and destruction of assets is to do nothing. Why in the world, in the face of logic and history, can anyone still claim that running and hiding will save the nation?

You mean war for drugs?


As it seems the afganis are again in full speed with their poppy growing bussines..
cause the US is at the "cotrols".

this was not so during Taleban.. Talibs destroyed the plants and killed the drug lords.. all that they could find anyways..

and to me it seems that US only real reason to be mad at Taleban was that the US addicts didnt get their daily heroin..


Btw, be my guests.. "love to hate me.." i dont care.. i am just the messenger.. reality bites.
sometimes.

Messenger? Propaganda specialist, you mean.
The Taliban had crossed the CIA on the drug deal, the poppy plants were being grown again. Regardless, if the opiate trade is controlled by the former East India Company (and it is, at least that which the first Congress signed over the monopoly rights to) and those fields are controlled by the them, then there is legal reason to have them. If not, the drug war will be carried to that country as well.
