Limey 242 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Agreed! Brave man in the wrong place for the wrong reasons! I dunno - I think the Afganistan thing was a worthy cause, it was backing off there and going to Iraq that was stupid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I don't think any one should think they have the god given right to correct other countries mistakes and try to enforce there own beliefs on them. No matter how wrong they are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno - I think the Afganistan thing was a worthy cause, it was backing off there and going to Iraq that was stupid. Call me a cynic, but I'm firmly of the opinion that The US is in Afghanistan not to catch a man in a cave but because it wants military bases close to the oil and mineral rich states of central Asia.
