The Americans love Pepsi Cola, we love death."

Actually, I prefer Diet Coke, but I think we Americans can accommodate their death wish. With pleasure.

The War is against Mohammedanism. Let's stop fooling ourselves.

[RaceBannon]

Yes, the Russians fought for a salary, I will fight for free. You killed my countrymen. I will fight for free, and yes, I will relish in your death.

Caca Cola is for wusses. Dr. Pepper, Mtn Dew, and Jolt cola, on the other hand...

[Thumper1960]

It was said that after the Flood, the Earth would be destroyed the next time by fire. Those in Biblical times knew of the Middle East as their "world". What better description of a FAE device and/or tactical nuclear weapons than fire and brimstone. Perhaps, the seekers of their own deaths may get their reward.

So... how many other countries has Afghanistan conquered? Has anyone ever heard of Afghani hegemony? Afghani imperialism? Afghani colonialism? The Afghan empire?

[Dr. Frank fan]

Mountain tribes, who have the art of warfare in their blood,

Yeah, whatever. I was wondering when the mystical nonsense being bandied about regarding these people would ratchet up a notch into fairy-tale territory. Next we'll be hearing all about how their midichlorian blood count is off the charts....

We are not afraid of death. The Americans love Pepsi Cola, we love death."

Hmmm. Seems like there should be some way to reconcile these two respective loves and make both sides happy. Although not completely. I happen to prefer Coke to Pepsi....

[Thumper1960]

Be a "Pepper"? Mountain "Dew" is what's left on the ground after a goat takes his morning...........sabbatical. Jolt....welll.....we all need a Jolt from time to time.

We are not afraid of death. The Americans love Pepsi Cola, we love death

That's it... I want my country back! Hubby called me slightly to the right of Gengis Kahn tonight at dinner. I say round 'em up-ship 'em out! Too bad if we hurt feelings of the good ME's.. Too bad for them. These people ARE WACK JOBS.. worse than Hitler. You want ethnic cleansing? You got it. LET'S ROLL!

[pepsi_junkie]

Coca Cola? oh you mean that multicultural world drink. Yes, I've heard of it.

[MissAmericanPie]

Poor idiots have no idea what is coming their way. They love death they say? We will see about that. They have nothing to lose?

Well, we do, and we love life, our fighting men could get a better salary doing anything else, they love freedom, they fight for an ideal, they have everything to lose.

This is why we will win.

[matcrazy]

Afghanistan's Mujahideen defeated Soviet troops only because of US arms and some help from other Muslim countries.

Now, Taliban is alone, I suppose (except some refugees from Pakistan). It'll be easier to defeat them sooner or later - maybe with help of Afghan Northern Alliance.

[mjf]

Well, what I would say to them is, Come and Get US boys! The Posse is forming up! We'd be glad to treat you to some Western Style Justice and we aren't talking about peace.

[Dan Day]

Mr Inyadullah, 35, said: "The Americans would be easier to defeat than the Russians. The Americans lead lavish lives and they are afraid of death. We are not afraid of death. The Americans love Pepsi Cola, we love death."

"Come get some..." -- Ash, "Army of Darkness"

[BurkeanCyclist]

The Americans love Pepsi Cola, we love death.

So drown the little creep in a cask of Pepsi. Then he can decide which he likes best.

[Brad C.]

We have to keep that in mind, they strongly believe their God is behind them 100%. Not only that, but Allah will reward those who die with a paradise beyond their dreams. They will fight until every last one is dead.

Our side, once it wins its current primary objective, the removal of bin Laden; will gradually lose interest barring further attacks inside our borders. Our side will miss our homes and families, while they are fighting on their doorsteps to protect theirs. I am sorry to say that this really is a no win situation for us. All out war can do nothing for our side.

As an alternative, now that we know who, and have a pretty good idea as to where they are, a few single well placed shots would solve a lot of problems. Drop one bad guy here, another there, over a period of time and without any evidence to tie us to it. Our country expresses its sympathy for the loss of their leaders, obviously resulting from an unknown terrorist organization. "Oh when will it ever stop" we will lament, as we plan on the next event.

[piasa]

I was rating them not on their slogans... but rather on the amount of gas they produce.

[FITZ]

Maybe we should start air dropping packages of coke and pepsi along with some of our good junk food wrapped in packages of the flag and other US symbols to the Afghan civilians. And some other Western artifacts and trinkets, maybe some magazines with messages ---maybe pictoral showing how it's bin Laden and the Taliban denying them, maybe show bin Laden next to his stacks of coins and some wanted dead or alive posters. Maybe let them see the size of the reward for bin Laden'd head.

[imperator2]

Anyone who lives in an open sewer called Afghanistan, with no food, no culture, no medicine, no future, ofcourse would rather die. I am not surprised at their self hatred. They have ruined a beautiful place. They deserve to die.

Latest word is that the Taliban is crumbling under attack by the other factions in Afghanistan, who've had it with them. We may not even have to go in.

This seems to disappoint some people.
