I'm not so sure I agree there - money or no money - they hate our guts. Case in point - Mushariff. It has long been rumored that Bin-Laden is lurking near by - yet "Mushariff" seems to be too weak in the knees to try to hunt him down or allow us to. If he doesn't have the balls to do it - let us! I am willing to bet - Bin - Laden will eventually cause Mushariff's downfall too. > This nation has to be strong within, DESPITE what we give out. > I couldn't agree with you more! > Some of us are... some of us just want to piss and moan about things > they know nothing about. > I DO know - I'm sick of our tax dollars being blown on every damned "emergency" abroad - and we get kicked in the teeth each and every time - following. > Which do you think both of you fucktards are? None of the above. Chairman - I don't think "anyone" (American) will disagree with you - least of all me - that "WE" need to be strong from "within". The question comes - at what cost? IS it an investment? OR "Black mail"? In some cases - it could be a fine line. I would find it hard to believe that 100% of our money is distributed to those who are "supposed" to get it. I think we would be fooling ourselves to think that. Maybe I don't operate with "all" facts in hand - but up until now - you and I have pretty much been on the same page. Regardless which sentence or paragraph we parted company on - the fact remains - "I" am a U.S.citizen - born and raised here - and tired of the shit from all those piss ants. It is bad enough we have to put up with "crooked" politicians sucking us dry for all they can get - without the rest coming in to play their games. We can agree to disagree with respect to "how" it is done - but we both want to see it "BE" done - for the benefit of this country. You and I - or anyone else can debate this in a friendly manner - or be pissed off at each other over it - the fact remains - those in charge will do as they please - and we have little say in the matter. Any time some outsider slams this country or our people - it just pisses me off - which is why I bothered to reply to this thread at all. Whether we agree on "tactics" or not - if it come to a battlefield with the two of us - or any Americans there - we're still going to fight the same enemy - not each other. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
