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

Bump. Pace Fukuyama, history hasn't "ended"---it's back with a vengeance. Muslims have not ever, do not now, and will not ever accept Western norms or pre-eminence. That means they do not accept democracy, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, equality between the sexes, and a host of other conditions that we take for granted. They certainly will not accept an international order that they do not control.

Yes indeed, this is a war---or really a continuation of the West's age-old war---against Islam. And if we don't realize it now, we'll have to realize it soon.

....: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."........

Mr Inyadullah is going to find out that the desire to live is just as strong or stronger then their hangup on dying. Americans can do more then one thing at once. Like KILLING the enemy and sipping a CocaCola at the same time. ...... Yes Mr Inyadullah...things do go better with CocaCola.

Did some research. This is all I could come up with. A shawl, a rug, and a dog. Quite a civilization!

afghan.

A coverlet or shawl of wool, knitted or crocheted in colorful geometric designs.
A carpet of similar design.
An Afghan hound.

I agree with you, nuke 'em till they glow then shoot 'em in the dark.

Was there a Single Malt Scotch as one of the options? Nice graphic.

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

I guess when Coke was teaching the world to sing in perfect harmony, Osama didn't get the memo.

Yup. Fukuyama is an ass.

And I wonder what the Wall St Journal has to say now about their proposed Amendment, "There Shall Be No Borders"? Think they learned anything?

Afghan empire?

The Afghans are intelligent, brave and fighting on their own land. Is mistake to underestimate, to use mocking words.

Our target is NOT whole of Afghan people. Our mission is to convince young Muslims everywhere that they do NOT wish to fight America. Respect useful here.

We cannot, I think, take away Afghans' desire to fight. We may, perhaps, with intelligence and skill, direct their anger elsewhere.

But I would not want to fight American forces, regular or special. We are fierce, brave and well-trained and equipped. So, Afghans, young Muslims, respect us and rebuild Kabul. Peace.

Or death from above.

For freedom,
Locke

If what they say is true, why are tens or hundreds of thousands of Afghanis hightailing it to the Iran and Pakistan borders?

We won't be fighting the regular Afghans- those folks are running for the borders. What we are going to fight are their oppressors the Taliban- not all of whom are Afghan. If we just wanted the Afghans we could nuke the place and walk away, so believe me, we know the difference.

Beyond that, the people doing the underestimating are not us. They're the ones making fun of Pepsi. NOBODY makes fun of Pepsi. ; )

"we love death"

Well then, we have got to get you guys together with our Special Forces. You see...

You love death, and...

They love killing guys like you!

It's a match made in Heaven.

Or in the case of you guys, Hell.

Yeah, whatever. I was wondering when the mystical nonsense being bandied about regarding these people would ratchet up a notch into fairy-tale territory.

If we’re going to fight mystical people with supernatural powers, we’d better send in our albinos and the mob. Maybe some British soccer hooligans as well.
