Good point again. We funded them in an effort to hinder opium trade, but of course, that turned out pretty damn badly.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

We don't give a fuck if they blow up shit in their country. It's only when they harbor and support people blowing shit up in our country that they care.
You know how there is the Godwining of a thread? There should be a new law about referencing Aldous Huxley or George Orwell in internet threads too.Iron_Sentinel wrote:

Um... It was about the opium trade, I assure you. We've done some pretty dumb things in the War on Drugs.ATG wrote:

We gave them money because we are good people and we had some to share.
They were asshole.
And now they are mostly dead.
( pisses on grave )
Ive said it before and ill say it again. The coalition should withdraw and let the Iraqi people make their own future. Yes it will begin with a escalation of violence but it will eventually petter off as a new dictatorship wins the power struggle. Come to think of it, the CIA are well practiced at removing elected governments and installing dictators in south America? Maybe thats how the US could move things in Iraqi along. Pity yous hung Saddam, ohhh wait Muqtada al-Sadr is still alive....he will do.ATG wrote:
