“Home truths in Afghanistan”?
A Leader in the British newspaper Observer stands out in sharp contrast to the article I had mentioned earlier in this blog from The Times of London.

This article is just a standard winge in the old British subtle style.
Ah yes and “aâ€? ..meaning….”one each” and only ONE Brit print media source is blaming the U.S.for lack of attention in a Southern Province. However, as also is pointed out in this same article, this is a NATO command. So blame NATO not the U.S..
Also this article points to A “Recent Survey” stating only 30 pounds being spent on reconstruction verses 400 in Bosnia, 130 in Iraq blah, blah, blah. Ahem. Give reference to the said survey please or shut the F*** up. Or, use more British Tax revenue and PAY MORE for reconstruction BRITON.
In the end “more troops” and more coalitions will be needed languishes the article. Noshitsherlock.
However no. Rather more BRITISH troops will be needed from BRITON since it is highly unlikely that anymore “coalitions” will ever be added.
It would be much better for all if they just lifted their skirts and showed us what they were made of.
Right oh
Pl don’t forget that you are the children of Britain/Europe. Children may turn into brats, bullies and worse…but they are still loved by their parents!!! So sometimes be a good boy Salmineo!!! I think you are…at times…but it is becoming rare!!!

Oh its the article not Briton. The article is BS. It can’t decide what it wants to say. However for whatever it wants to say, it is quite certain the U.S. is to blame.
First let me point out, that we are no longer the children or Briton and Europe. We are now 50% of non-European ethnic origin. So we are cousins at best. I myself am made up of 1/8 Native American blood. Our ties with Europe are political, not ethnic.
What the Europeans do, they will do in their own self interests and right now that interest is 80% of the worlds oil supply threatened by Islamic Fundamentalism.
The Europeans have little choice. They can side with us and winge or they can side with Islamic Fundamentalism and die. Like us or not, they are stuck with us.
Have a piece of apple pie Swaraaj, my mom made it especially for you. Its sweeter than mangoes and not very healthy, but boy it tastes damn good. It would be impolite to refuse. Cultural thing what!
thanks for the apple pie…yummieeee…you seem to be in best mood when partkaing good food. But why deprive me of my mangoes…the Indian variety is sweet!!!

Do you enjoy your culture?
Would you like me and a few million Americans to come over to India and just totally change your culture?
This is my whole point. So many people want to come here for economic reasons, but they don’t want to assimilate into our culture. They want to change it into theirs!
Where the hell am I going to go when all you people have changed America into whatever?

Welllll if the Brits don’t like it let them mount their own efforts and take up all the slack of any type they want, and with our permission. We kicked their impirical asses too, twice. Screw the Limeys.
With the United States, the Impirical Brits, especially England since the end of the War of 1812-15 have approached our nation hands out, palms up, what’s in it for jolly old England and the United Kingdom.
Ya know..I doubt one of the bloggers here even know that it was the United States interference and U S Army invasion on Russian soil at a little known place in the Baltics at Archangel, in 191-19 where the United States contributed about 3000 Army troops and fought with the White Russians against the Red Russians during their revolution that caused 99% of the distrust and USSR anomosity for the United States that eventually led to the Cold War.
I doubt but very few of you know that if Hitler had not screwed Stalin and the Russian’s, that the USSR would have become the fourth arm of the Axis, and that if the USSR had joined the Axis, the outcome of WW II would have been very much in doubt for the U S A, Britain, and the Allies.
