I don't remember a Yale  professor against Afganistan, but there was the "Million Mogadishu" Professor from Columbia. Of course that was in the context of Iraq.

Aside form the "Bomb them with bread" folks, and the Lyndon LaRouche folks, I don't remember many people here in the states being against the war in Afghanistan.

"Marine Corps" sounds French and is French too. Still don't let that distract you from your knee-jerk racial stereotyping. ;)

Yes we are still fighting in Afghanistan but not nearly as much as those that opposed it wanted you to think.

Ahh... so to the complicated-minded such as yourself losing the services of 1,480 aid workers in an NGO with over two decades of experience in Afghanistan is progress and a step in the right direction, eh? Well let's crank up the Ethel Merman, and sing along then...

Perhaps you prefer the 800,000 Africans slaughtered while the UN sat around and sipped cherry and smoked cigars....of course, loss of life would have been necessary to quell that atrosity now wouldn't it?


Bottom line....folks like me will be dying for years and years to come to save the likes of you...your welcome.

Dam conservatives are nothing but death merchants!

RUDE.......bottom line

   Damn Rude dont know who you are ,what color you are ,if you french ,russian, indian,american or come from venus with 8 arms I would be proud to shake your hand.

   DEAD, if it means we need to stop feeling up 91 year old greatgrandmas and start shearching men[ and women if need be]
 from the middle east before we let them on a plane or elsewhere and stop this stupid quota system of searching them/

  If it means I am smart enough to understand that these aid workers are running out now when they are most needed,and doing it only for polictial reasons/

  If it means taking a stab at the french because they have once again sided with there buddies the arabs in the sudan in my opinion and again europe and the u.n.are doing nothing about the killing of blacks [maybe a million by december] because the arabs say they are an inferior race/

 If because I have come to believe that maybe 65 percent of american blacks are narcissist people along with 45 percent of all americans/

  Then so be it I am a racist thru and thru.
  But I tell you this, If I was president, I promise you that by a week from to day , there would be no more arabs  making slaves of blacks or killing blacks and others in the sudan. I would not ask permission of europe or un.No resalutions nothing.And even If the blacks for what ever reason ended up hating us I would just say thank you very much and leave. If that makes me a racist then so be it.

Why not say, "while the world sat around..."?
