#1 What a difference between the way Ghandi (successfully) overthrew oppression by a civilized power and the way the Taliban are trying to protest offenses by the US. There must be something different in the culture of the Taliban from the Indians; what could it be?

#2 Wrong comparison, Glenmore. Taliban is the was-once-wants-to-be-more oppressor and uncivilized at that.

As for Ghandi, he is a tad overrated, IMHO. Comes across as a somewhat a hypocrite.

#3 Time to start napalming these little get-togethers. The locals both love and fear the Taliban. Time to teach them that the US is also a nation not to get angry, because we can be pretty darned fearful when we're angry.

Perv played a very dangerous game of trying to appease all factions, and in the end, pleased no one. Now he's neck deep in boiling water. The rest of the Pakistanis are so brainwashed they can't think, and let their imams do the thinking for them. I don't think they'd be equally as likely to also bleed for the imams, if it came to that, but I may be wrong. Again, it's time for Pakistan to disappear from the world's maps, to be replaced by both an expanded Afghanistan and an enlarged India.

#4 That will win friends and influence enemies. How did that strategy work out for you so far Talibunnies. You have gotten your dicks dinged up pretty badly so far as I can tell.

#5 "Yar! We can be as brutal as AQI! We'll do it MORE brutal and be even MORE successful!!"
