What you propose is suicide on a massive scale. I would not worry about the Americans harming people in such a march. You complain about violations of Pakistani territory. What reaction do you believe the Afghan National Police and Afghan military would have to such a massive border incursion by...
I see you are assuming that the NATO helicopters crossed the border before the Pakistani troops fired on them. Would you consider the possibility that someone at the Pakistani outpost, perhaps outraged by the American attack on bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, fired at the helicopters first...
I have seen enough dead bodies. I do not need to see OBL's. If the US says that the SEALs killed him, then he is dead. The US is not al Qaeda or the Taliban that videotapes decapitations of innocents for their websites. The pictures of Saddam Hussein, may he rot in Hell, and his sons, may they...
Everyone who participated in the decision to rape this woman as well as the rapists themselves should be punished severely. This is a disgusting injustice. What of the men who sodomized her young brother? Shouldn't they be punished as well?
I felt much the same when I went to my first baseball game in the United States. I have to admit, however, that I have learned to love the game! One of my grandsons wants to be a third baseman!
American football, on the other hand...
In Great Britain, the government has all but criminalized self-defence. If someone is beating you senseless with his fists, God help you if you pull some sort of weapon and injure/kill him. The courts will say that you responded with excessive force. If you poke someone who is attacking or...
Madness is not cool. I would also dispute that the man in the operatic military uniforms or "desert nomad" robes that cost more than 50 Libyans make in a year is a calm guy.
True. Cockroaches can live for days with no head before they eventually starve to death.
President of the United States Barack Hussein Obams was on television this evening. He explained that the United States and its allies started attacking Libyan forces only after UN resolution 1973 was...
It has to be Katmandu, because Bob Seger wanted to go there in 1975 to get away from the pressure of touring and record deals. It represents somewhere far away where no one demands anything of you. It represents peace. Also, it rocks!:
Katmandu
By Bob Seger
I think I'm going to Katmandu...
We Were Soldiers.
Mel Gibson is not my favorite person, but this is an excellent movie unless you have been in a war. Then it can be somewhat stressful. The first half, I thought, so this is how Americans train to go to war. The second half, when the Americans go into LZ X-Ray was entirely...
My hope is that when, not if, democratic rule becomes the norm throughout North Africa and the Middle East, that the new governments do not allow discrimination against their minorities, religious and otherwise.
Did the Indian government understand that Sarah Palin is not part of the American government under whose auspices their representatives and VIPs were inconvenienced? For what it is worth, I will not fly within the US due to the intrusive measures and unprofessional behaviour of some TSA...
From what I understand, the Stryker MGS is meant as an infantry fire support system, not a tank destroyer. It would be more effective in reducing defended strong points than taking on tanks.
It is a very sad time for him I am sure. This is a demonstration of cultural differences that some of us may not understand. I have heard that when a young unmarried man dies in China, his family often arranges for a marriage to an unmarried deceased girl so he will have a companion in whatever...
I believe that 24 years is too short a sentence for what he pled guilty. I only hope his testimony against the others results in much longer sentences or even the death penalty for them.
At least the US military is pursuing justice in this matter.
