Thank you!!!! I was thinking about this photo myself.

Lets not compare Afghanistan to Vietnam. My dad served in Vietnam including the Tet offensive where we lost over 10 thousand servicemen. You say we want him to fail? Well what does it say when he goes on an apology tour around the world? What does it say when nearly 2 months later he still won't make a decision on whether to send more troops into Afghanistan or not. What does it say when he would rather attend a fundraiser than do the work of this country? What does it say when he has spent more money in 9 months than Bush did in 8 years?? I'm not against anyone wanting to actually do things for the benefit of the country. But I am against someone who wants to turn us into a socialist nation and slowly but surely strip us of our rights.

And by the way can I remind you Bush is no longer the President? Obama sure doesn't seem to get it.

Yes, there is proof that they were harboring him:

The Taliban ARE terrorists.

We were told a long time ago, we were going to take the fight to them, instead of fighting them here. Honestly, at the rate we let foreigners into this country, how long do you think we'd be safe at all? As it is, I don't feel as safe as I did prior to 9/11. I am much more aware of my surroundings now and am much more observant as a result. Fool me once? Shame on you. Fool me twice? Shame on me.

Do you know for a fact that the Taliban isn't harboring terrorists? They kind of set a precedence, don't you think?

Come on Rex, your post reeks of someone who doesn't want to admit that some people hate us. They sit over there in their third world countries and the only thing they see is what Hollywood depicts us as, which isn't very realistic, wouldn't you say? Most of the country does not reflect what Hollywood wants to project to the rest of the world.

The whole time Bin Laden was planning this he was an extended-stay guest in Afghanistan, at the Taliban's request and he wasn't the only one who knew what he was doing.

Rex is just another liberal, who can't face the truth.. That his boy is not living up to what he promised "Change" He is afraid to admit, that he s u c k s as a leader, and doesn't have a clue, what the American people want or need. He is letting the ding bats in the house, senate dictate to him were this country needs to go. And that is in to a socialist state, were the government thinks the know whats best for us.

Why yes Ma'am, we can certainly agree that some people around the world do indeed hate us- and sorry to say, but for some very valid reasons. No Ma'am, I don't believe it has anything to do with Hollywood though. I believe it has much to to with the abuse, suffering, and general interference that our government has subjected these people to, going back to (but definitely not limited to) our government's overthrow (at the behest of the British and their oil interests) of a perfectly good democracy in Iran in 1953.

In short, I'll just sum up and state that I don't believe that our government has any business whatsoever in that part of the world and the longer our government (notice I didn't say "we", because as more regular everyday citizens become better informed about the history of our government's conduct in that part of the world, the less public support for this conduct there will be) continues to attempt to control these foreign peoples, the worse shape we'll be in and the greater these peoples' distrust and hatred of all things American will become.

I do not condone or excuse terrorism of any kind, but I'm afraid that in the eyes of much of the rest of the world- especially in Central Asia- the United States has been quickly gaining a reputation as the worst terrorist of all. The terrorism which we all fear so much simply represents the consequences for years of our government's global hedgemonying.

Chances are that if our government stopped interferring- at the behest of corporate interests- in the affairs of the Middle East, the fear of terrorism would no longer be an issue.

ADDENDUM: This is your "proof"?
"By 1996, the Taliban, translated in Arabic to mean "the students," managed to seize control of most of Afghanistan. Five years ago, the Taliban offered to provide a haven for bin Laden, who by then had been exiled from his homeland, Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden, who has been implicated in terrorist attacks against U.S. interests worldwide, reportedly gave the organization $3 million to boost its flagging military efforts.
Today the Taliban controls nearly 90% of Afghanistan, still harbors bin Laden as "a guest" and is the primary focus of a global appeal by the United States for a full-scale war against terrorism.
By Santiago Lyon, AP Afghan women wearing the traditional Burqa covering. In the past three years, and possibly with pressure from bin Laden, the Taliban reportedly has opened its training camps to would-be terrorists from throughout the Middle East, Africa and Asia."

Oh great another chorus of "We're the bad bad Americans because the other guys say we are". And tomorrow they'll be asking us for food.....to dig their water wells, to save their daughters, to champion their causes but hey we're the evil Americans and the new hobby is to make sure we all apologize for being Americans.

bull poop

I'm proud to be an American. I'm proud we bombed Japan and ended that war. I'm proud we liberated the Nazi concentration camps. I'm proud we were first to land on the moon. Oh wait......we're the ONLY ones to do that. I'm proud we have more than other countries. I'm proud we sent troops to retaliate for 9/11. I'd be even prouder if we sent more troops and kicked their hineys and finished what should have been finished before now. I'd be really proud if we impeached the imposter in the white house.

I'm proud to be an American and I'm not apologizing to anyone.

1) Do you think terrorism against our country would continue after our government ceased military/economic interference in that part of the world? Why?
