How does Israel control the US

and we are trying to convert Afghanistan & Iraq into respectable democracies in 2004.

give me a fucking break. that's a load of shit and you know it.

The US used and currently uses it's own form of terrorism throughout the world.

Take note of the Tiger Force of Vietnam. If you think we don't have a modern day version of that, you're niave.

or the bombing of cambodia. the only difference is that military bombers were used to kill those people (I read 600,000... probably exaggerated) while terrorists use more rudimentary means.

 

[Code]

Well, we learned a valuable lesson from that.
In order to go unnoticed, you have to be:
1.) Unaffiliated with the US.
2.) Less effective.

So if we can't do the job ourselves, we outsource it to the terrorists we support.

now you're on to something. however we've made such a bad name for ourlseves in certain situations, that we might as well do it ourselves b/c we'd get blamed for it anyway.

Well, in many cases we do our own work.
But generally speaking it's in areas of the world where the media is less sympathetic to, like the African continent and (in the 80's) South America.

No its not a load of shit. I remember when this war started you were saying 'we are probably going to impose another dictator in Iraq' and he we are and you were wrong. I think its the same thing here. True we are ignoring alot of Afghanistan's problems but we are trying to convert the government there, just like we are in Iraq, even if it is half assed.

how the hell am I wrong. there haven't been elections yet. future elections (if they ever happen) are not considered CURRENT elections now. unless you live in a fantasy world.

 

[Lao Tzu]

you are wrong because you seemed to think we'd impose another dictator. I dont see a dictator, human, civil & political rights in iraq are much better now than they used to be and will stay that way.

I guess we'll see. besides, it hasn't been very long since the war was over. so far we are still ruling over that place last time I checked.
