I am beginning to wonder, Teribus, if you are a closet Republican living in the wrong country? ;-) The reason I mention it is that you never seem to have criticism for any American president unless he is a Democrat. That's odd, considering that you are a resident of the UK. You also made some statements about the delights of living in and fighting for a "Christian nation", etc. on another thread which sounded like they came straight out of the Young Republican's official Guidebook. Extraordinary. How did a citizen of the British Isles end up in such a state of mind?

Eric Margolis disagrees with you about the situation in Afghanistan as it relates to the Pashtuns, etc. As he is far better informed on that country than I am, and has actually been there and seen it firsthand, I suggest you post to his website and argue with him about it until you achieve "satisfaction" (or not).
