And probably also remembering that the Prime minister will fight us if we want to institute reforms in that country. A- We go home ASAP and leave them to their misery and B- We ship in another 150,000 soldiers to see if that will get us control of the violence. Senator McCain, the one we all love so much, is in favor of B. However, we all know how well that worked in Vietnam. I think that if the bastards stop killing each other they could have a lovely country with lots of resources. If their own prime Minister is unwilling to help accomplish that, f*ck them, lets go home. We put them in the mess they are in so we owe them some help but they and their government must help too. So far they have been unwilling to do so. Let's see if we threatened to leave what would they do.
