They fervently believed that Afghanistan was a far better and moral place than the USA, and certainly what you call "our morally degenerate blue states". Do you agree with them too?
Do you also think the Christian Freepers who happen to live in blue states in the USA are morally degenerate?
Russia is enacting policies even red states can only dream of.
