Dave, thanks for sharing the picture. I never knew you were so photogenic. Do you spend a lot of time in that position? I expected knee-jerk reactions and I wasn't disappointed. Let me share with you a quote from Paul Craig Roberts, who used to be a government official with the Reagan administration. "Afghanistan is another example. Intentional lies conflated the Taliban with al-Qaeda and "terrorists." The diverse peoples in Afghanistan who were first ravaged by Soviet bombs are now ravaged by American bombs. Weddings, funerals, children’s soccer games, people waiting for fuel or food, people asleep in their homes, people attending mosques have all been murdered and are murdered routinely by US and its NATO puppets.
Each time civilians are murdered, the US denies it, only to be contradicted every time by the evidence.
Why is the president of the United States contemplating sending yet tens of thousands more US troops to kill people in Afghanistan?
The answer is that the United States is an immoral country, with an immoral people and an immoral government. Americans no longer have a moral conscience. They have gone over to the Dark Side.
Humanity has endeavored for millennia to control evil with morality. In the American "superpower," this effort has collapsed and failed." He doesn't paint a very pretty picture.
As to your suggestion that I should leave if I don't like what is going on, I don't think so. I believe that the true patriots are those who oppose immorality and evil of our present and recent past leadership. I admire the courage of those who fought and died in the various wars even though I don't support the wars themselves. As far as I am concerned the only just war is a war of self defense. The present wars and Nam are not wars of self defense. If the US were invaded then I would indeed fight to defend my country, just as the "insurgents" in Iraq and Afganistan are defending their countries. Just so you don't think that I am some kind of left wing pinko, let me tell you a little about myself. I have seven kids, I own a business, have a mini farm, am an elder in my church. I think that you and others who replied to your post have spent too much time in front of the one eyed cyclops, absorbing propaganda from the military-industrial complex.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
