lol apart from the second-last sentence, a good post i can understand. Yes, certainly we are better off or so i think. But apart from those Taliban there are muslims who would never kill anyone, and are pretty angry about their own fanatics. But they are also killed.
I just do not like those euphemistically-called
asymmetric wars.
More than 8,000 civilians were killed in the last 4 years, in Afghanistan.
And more than 240,000, in Iraq.

This does not mean that - especially in Iraq - all civilians were killed by troops from abroad - but was that
worth it ? For oil ? As a retaliation ?
Imperiums are not founded with timidity, or so someone once said.
I just thought we would be more advanced, when we are already so much better off, comfort-wise and intellectually.
Thanks,
