These people are not constricted by the same laws that we are, if a fisherman catches one fish too many, he has to thow it back.
I am of the opinion that if bullshine baffles brains then brains are lacking.
I suffer with all the lads and lasses that have died in this stupid conflict and having worn with pride the uniform of or Queen and country.
Take the brakes off and send the enemy to hell.
I don't agree that taking the brakes off will work in this case .... the Taliban is not an army; and it isn't really a group of insurgents. "Taliban" is an idea, a widely held belief founded in religion. Its one that has wide popularity in Afghanistan ... it can't be beaten, unless of course you turn the country into a radioactive parking lot. Even then the idea will live on in some other crap hole of a country I don't care about. Let's get out of there now. Leave them to it. Cut off aid. Boycott their hash (mmm, have to think about that one). If they want a theocracy; let 'em have one. That country is not worth one drop of Canadian, British, or American blood ... yet we're pouring it out in gallons. (I didn't metion the German or French blood ... wonder why?)
