I am beginning to feel that people are afraid of the word "Dictator". As far as my take on a dictator, lets look at history, Alexander, Napoleon, Gangis Kahn, etc. etc. all had complete control of all aspects but most importantly, The military. Another thing have to point out is that none of...

Read any news reports about US forces dropping Mortars and 155mm shells into the wrong mud hut. I have.

I agree with that entirely, I have struggled to understand out countries need to force an American stance on every country. I feel this is directly related to religion and religious figure being in position of influence in our govt. We may not be as open about our want for expansionism like say...

If the people cared enough about having a dictator lord over them, they would rise up and take there government back by bloody coup. Your an ignorant mouth breather for believing American intervention is needed for every country in the world. How do civilizations rise and fall? Through the will...

Your talking to an Active Duty Army EOD NCO... I know just as well as most how fubar our countries policies are hurting our soldiers. But I want to state that our aiding Afghanistan was two part, old intel reports that Osama Bin Ladin was hiding out on the western Portion and the Torqam Gate...

Is anyone willing to try to explain why a temporary cease in democracy could not benefit the nation long term. Or take a stab at why it is not in our best interest to become isolationist?

I think it is safe to say that our nation is too arrogant... We have not even figured out how to govern ourselves effectively, but to try to introduce democracy into Afghanistan using America's current model is a joke. Afghanistan is not united, but more like America in the beginning. Since we...

Can it even be constitutional what religious persons and some politicians are doing, advocating morals or law be made based on christianity. Separation of church and state personally mean something to me because it keeps the focus on America and whats good for it. This land was founded on the...
