I hope whenever you Americans see on the news what is going on in Afghanistan you remember that your government paid for their weapons and their training, that those guys were educated in US-run schools and guerilla warfare training camps - all because Reagan and Bush came out with this shit about "totalitarian" being the only bad thing & non-communists couldn't possibly be "totalitarian". Whatever the Taliban were, they certainly weren't communists. So in goes the CIA, and the money, and the guns, and look what came out.

I hope when you Brits realize you're not speaking German or Russian to your *elected* masters, you get down on your seldom used knees and kiss America's red, white, & blue ass.
