    America has decayed far too much for the laws to dictate how we act. Power does as power wants.

    Twenty years of nothing. The US is a failed empire.
    Change in Afghanistan must come from inside, not foreign forces. We should give humanitarian aide, but we have invested a lot in their country and they need to decide how their country is run.

    The Izraeli racists claim that they are being attacked repeatedly by numerous others. Victimhood is a characteristic of fascism- and nobody plays the victim like an Izraeli pseudo-Jew.
