After reading and posting here in OD for a short time, I am beginning to wonder how many of the contributors believe that military force is the diplomatic tool that the US should be using in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. And if it is such a good idea there, then where else? Should we not, as the biggest badasses on the planet, just go out and kick everyone's ass that we don't agree with? Venezuela anyone? Korea again for sure. China? We'll teach those ba5tards to put melemine in babyfood. Why stop with the Afghans, lets get Pakistan while we're there too, then just sweep back through Iran, pincerlike with our forces in Iraq. Really, the entire middle east should be ours, we have the ability.
Then we can set up governments just like ours.
