shropshire 0 #2 January 2, 2009 History shows us that a number of ex-Terror groups have moved into 'acceptable' politics.. If they made the first move, that would knock the wind out of everyone else's sails - boy would some people be annoyed at that (.)Y(.)

Zep 0 #9 January 2, 2009 Why are the alies ready to surrender. From what I've read the Brits may be ready to seeing as your bleeding heart socialist government won't supply them with the kit they need to do the job, Then come January 20 the Americans will probably bombard them with roses.

Sounds like a great cost saving measure. A 500 pound guided bomb costs nearly $20,000. Some times I drive by flower farms selling a dozen roses for $5.99 and even the FTD markup doesn't run them much over $60. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No_Phear 0 #11 January 2, 2009 What are they going to negotiate? If they will negotiate about how long they can lick our balls, then sure. But really if I was the CinC, I would just nuke all of em, and let everybody get mad. Guess it's a good thing I'm not POTUS Tact is not my specialty.....

ryoder 1,590 #13 January 2, 2009 I would advise the Taliban not to negotiate with the US. The Native Americans negotiated, and look what happened to them.

gregpso 1 #19 January 3, 2009 Talking cannot hurt any one. But with the extreme ideas of the Taliban I doubt whether the west can ever negotiate peace with them but its worth a tryI tend to be a bit different. enjoyed my time in the sport or is it an industry these days ??

tbrown 26 #21 January 4, 2009 I don't see why the Taliban would want to negotiate with the U.S. unless they thought it were in their interest to do so. They would need to see something worth gaining from it. Apparently we are now willing to negotiate with at least some of the Taliban, as it now seems even our generals are saying we can't clearly defeat them by military means alone. Historically the Afghanis have made a sport out of defeating one foriegn power after another, just ask the Brits and the Russians. I could see them wanting to negotiate if they thought they could get some short term gains out of it. An interesting quote I heard the other noght about Afghanistan was that "You can rent these people's support and cooperation for a short time, but you can never buy it", a lesson that Pakistan is learning and that may not have sunk in with us yet.

If that is your idea of Christianity, I find it absolutely fucking disgusting. Really. No, it is the idea of the Ancient World. Life in the Ancient World was , as Hobbes put it, "nasty, brutish, and short." Yes it was absolutely fucking disgusting, and I am thankful I live in modern times, and not back then. But in the Ancient World, that is how nations conquered other nations. It wasn't just the Israelites who had that policy, ALL conquering nations did it that way. There was no such thing as mercy for the enemies, political or cultural sensitivity for conquered peoples, or any other modern liberal ideals. Soldiers just moved in & put everyone to the sword. The Ancient World sucked, especially if your village was on the losing end of a major battle.
