Keep in mind though, we (the U.S.) have the largest Army, Navy, and Airforce of any country by quite a big numarical degree. We also have the biggest stash of nuclear warheads in the world. Not to mention we have the biggest spy satelite network in the world.........

1. By quite a big numarical degree? China is actually just as large, if not larger than the US, currently (so says college professor).

2. We're about to take down most of the nuclear warheads (so says Pres. Obama).


We, the Americans, are a young, proud, and "cocky" race. We have much to learn, but we'll soon head in the right direction - I gotta feelin' ;).

Funny how countries will talk crap about the US and the dollar and then right around and buy anything "US". Blue jeans, marlboros, you name it. Everyone hates us but wants to be like us. I'm 50 and been around the world a few dozen times- both as a civilian and a soldier. 20 years ago our enemies were our friends and visa versa. What goes around comes around No matter how much crap they talk, they want the US to police the world and they want to be just like us.

Devalue the dollar. Pump up the Euro. It'll be in the toilet within a decade.

And losing Afghanistan???? Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Frigging democrat BS. Let the ground commanders run the war and the politicians pay for it. Obamanation can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

Opinions. I thought this was intresting........

The Taliban Terrorist Organization took over the Iraq government some years back. They, along with a neighboring government planned the 9/11 attack because they wanted the U.S. to stay out of their, “affairs.” Meanwhile, their, “affairs,” consisted of taking over the existing form of government and introducing their way that they thought people should live, (one of the rules the Taliban’s enforce is the belief women should not have an education and just 1 month ago, they raided a school, killing 12 school girls and 3 teachers. However, raids like that happen all the time.) After the “Towers Attack,” where the Twin Towers were not actually planned to fall, the terrorists just got lucky. (Ha-ha, can you believe it?) They happened to hit a central support on the right tower, in which it didn't fall immediately, but the heat was so intense from the in logged airplane, on fire, that it actually melted through the beam. (Sorry. That was hard to word correctly)

Anyways, the point is, the Taliban took over the Iraq government, which was weak at the time and still is. If we were to let the situation brush off, more attacks would soon follow. Not to mention what they would do if we let them go on with their, “plan.” So, that being one of the trillion or so reasons we decided to begin the war on terrorism, I conclude my brief, brief, brief overview.

I’m sure some of you will scream at me for laying out my synopsis of the situation, and I will be declared a moronic liar, but hey, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. (Now Pakistan, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan, they are separate stories completely.)
