Hell how would you feel if somebody shot up your love ones and then chuck a pile of money on your doorstep for compensiation? Better than nothing yes but its not really gonna ease the suffering.
Right, a source which confirms that ISAF doesn't employ WMDs.Note, that I'm not agreeing with Poet, just posting a source.

Does NATO purposely target civilians?....
In any case you most certainly shouldn't be the one calling us barbarians, until your own utterly messed up sorry excuse for a democratic and civilized country has anything worthy to show for. We all know where the majority of terrorist comes from these days, don't we?
Hint: A country that starts with P...
Also, way to go by trying to compare Iraq with Afghanistan.
Hollywood always has all the answers.
"When I die, I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like Fidel Castro, not screaming in terror, like his victims."
My shameful truth.
War is brutal. Get over it. I have no feelings for the people of Afghanistan. They came onto our soil and attacked us which means they deserve to get their asses kicked. They are lucky we aren't like the Russians, or they would have been cleansed. Why is there no one pointing fingers at Russia for what they did?

Oh Dear God... What a load of crap. You are aware that most of the hijackers where Saudi, right?

Afghans didn't attack us. And they are some of the most unfortunate people in the world. They live in constant poverty, opression, and warfare.War is brutal. Get over it.

No they didn't.
You are worse than Russians. At least Russians do not go to the other side of the world to establish their order there.They are lucky we aren't like the Russians, or they would have been cleansed.
Isn't it what nationalist Americans have been doing throughout this whole thread?Why is there no one pointing fingers at Russia for what they did?
Only because they can't.You are worse than Russians. At least Russians do not go to the other side of the world to establish their order there.
Do you know what "nationalist" means?Isn't it what nationalist Americans have been doing throughout this whole thread?
They can. Its just that Russian leaders historically tend to be smarter than American ones.
Yes? What does it have to do with the fact that American nationalists in this thread are trying to divert this subject to Russia, who has nothing to do with the subject?Do you know what "nationalist" means?
They can. Its just that Russian leaders historically tend to be smarter than American ones.
Sure they can Volh, and sure they have. Which is why our country collapsed within a single lifetime. And why our country has lived under constant oppression for most of it's history.
I get the feeling you don't.Yes? What does it have to do with the fact that American nationalists in this thread are trying to divert this subject to Russia, who has nothing to do with the subject?
USSR collapsed for entire different reasons.
Russia had Veche (democratic order in medieval Rus) long before US even existed. And in oppressive USSR we didn't have benches which said "whites only". But oh well, racism has historically been a part of American mentality.
The thread is not about you feelings.I get the feeling you don't.
Some of which had to do with moronic leaders.USSR collapsed for entire different reasons.
Racism is a dark part of history, but it's not a big issue here today. Unlike in Russia which is becoming more and more famous for it's hate crimes, to the point that minorities are forced to hide indoors for three days around Hitler's birthday, and where an actual neo-nazi has been elected to the Duma. Forgot about that little detail didn't you?Russia had Veche (democratic order in medieval Rus) long before US even existed. And in oppressive USSR we didn't have benches which said "whites only".

And if you have to go all the way back to medieval times to find an example of democracy in Russia it should tell you something.
Not as much as moronic as treacherous.
Yeah, because KKK is not a problem. And what politician are you talking about? Isn't it pro-Israeli Zherenovsky?Racism is a dark part of history, but it's not a big issue here today.

There are examples from other times as well. This particular ones just highlight how ridiculous it is when American talks about democracy to a Russian.And if you have to go all the way back to medieval times to find an example of democracy in Russia it should tell you something.

The KKK consists of a few hundred drunk rednecks who stage rallies and get shouted down by counter demonstrations three times their size. When's the last time they committed a crime? Just because they exist doesn't mean it's a problem for the US...just like Russia itself.
Here is one of them.
Let me guess, he's not really a neo-nazi. Youtube is just western propaganda right?
Name them.There are examples from other times as well. This particular ones just highlight how ridiculous it is when American talks about democracy to a Russian.
Has Russia ever had a truly democratic system? And I mean truly democratic, not "you can vote for anyone as long as they are communist" or "you can vote for anyone as long as it's someone Putin supports".
Didn't think so.
What do you mean by "truly democratic"? Americans usually mean by that "puppet of US". If yes, than no it never was and never will be. But democratic institutions have always existed in Russia in one form or another - starting from already mentioned Veche, "Sobor" of XVI century (where Romanovs were elected), menshevick government in 1917 and Russian parliament in 1993 (particularly interesting since US supported Yeltsin in destroying it so he can consolidate his power).Has Russia ever had a truly democratic system?
