“Yep, the solution is to help terrorists.”
Umph ... we did this “my enemies enemy is my friend” game much too often and ended up with things turning even worse on the long run.

Remember what happened after we gave stingers anti-aircraft missiles to the taliban to fight the russians ? In the long run we’ve got 911.

We’ve kicked Irans first and only democratic gouvernment in the 50s because they won’t give their oil for free and installed a dictator, the sha of persia. They kicked him in a revolution in 79 and things went even worse for both the US and Iran.

I could continue this with many other countries. Chile, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, etc. US foreign politics in overturning a other nations gouvernment always (except Germany and Japan) messed things up in the long run.

For me the solution would be easy. Get our troops home and flatten the whole middle east with B-52s.

Exactly. Many a time, your enemy's enemy is also your enemy. King Cobras eat Banded Kraits, but that doesn't mean that you can pick up a Banded Krait and 'ally' with it against the Hamadryad. I sometimes fear that many people (including most FReepers) see the world as some sort of Black and White tapestry, when in reality it is all shades of gray and in-between.

Let me put it this way ...when a nuke goes off in the US (note: I did not say 'if') you can be sure of three things:

i) It will NOT be Russian (with apologies to those that still wait for Commie bastichs parachuting down one early dawn)

ii) It will have strong connections with Pakistan (that 'ally' of the US that also happens to be the world's leading - propagator of Islamic radicalism and terrorism through the ISI - number one Madrassas spot - proliferator of nuclear technology through the A.Q.Khan network - strong anti-American). If Bush had b@lls he would have named it as one of the axis-of-evil countries (it deserves it more than N.Korea and Iran do), but politics always prevails. The idiot Obama will obviously not do it.

iii) The mules will be Islamic radicals ...but will not be the swarthy Arab looking folk many FReepers think the enemy 'looks like.' Chechens are very much a part of Al Queda and global Jihad, and many have fair skin, light hair, and blue eyes. There is a reason profiling in Israel is an art done by very well trained individuals ...but some here think that the solution is to pull out every olive skinned Arab, while the other side on the Left thinks it is pulling out granny or/and having lactating mothers drink their breast milk.

Anyways, that day approaches. I pray that the good Lord foils the plans of the wicked.
