I'd almost bet dollars to pesos that none of the protesters are aware of the coded messages. It's easy for people to get stirred up over something that seems so benign when they don't have all the facts. And who in a crowd of angry people would dare ask the logical question of "Why are we doing this?". Nobody would hear them anyway. ![]() The war in Afghanistan: I think it was FUBAR'd after the Taliban was driven out of the country. I've been reading up on the Korean War lately, and what I have learned so far is that the ROK divisions had plenty of reason to fight. They learned everything they could from KMAG, and used every resource made available to them by the US. I think that if the Afghan people had good enough reason to fight insurgency they would stand up and learn everything they can from our advisors. From what I've read it seems as if this is another war where the American soldier is expected to die for the indigenous people -- to do all the lifting so to speak. "Yes, we want our country to be safe, but we don't want to do it ourselves." Once our troops are withdrawn the country will slip back into chaos. Waste much effort? Oh yeah, it's a waste alright. ![]()
