Bullying? To ASK for HELP in bringing some semblance of security and a democratic system to Afghanistan?
I think, YOU being in some delusional kindergarten for totalitarian Muppets, is a more realistic assumption.
Aren't you the one who's SOOOO happy that the 'Bullies' of the world have left the totalitarian Muppets in Iran alone. Of course you are, because You Sir/Mam are a Muppet who supports the worlds worst bullies.
You are of the same historic ilk that, with wrong headed pacifism, defend and fight to protect totalitarian butchers.
Oh yeah, America is the enemy of the world. Good luck with that, Miss Piggy! Why don't you go throw some stones through some storefronts/burn some cars in protest, you'll feel better.
Ditto. Your comments are right on. Am so tired of everyone trying to blame U.S. (and Israel) for every problem in the world. Just lazy thinking with no real evaluations of current issues. People don't understand the very strong isolationist sentiment that is still very much alive in the U.S.
be careful, my government thinks I'm dangerous.
