This is absurd.... Any "people of the United States" who are so outraged at what is
going on in Afghanistan have my permission to go over there, take up arms,
encourage riots, start a revolt, or do whatever-in-the-hell they want to do.... I
resent the idea that they presume the right or power to force my participation in
their "holy war." How in heaven's name do you propose to "support and take action"
against the govm't of Afghanistan without taxpayer expense (meaning, you make me
pay for your project)?
What do we go after next? Discriminatory credit practices in Poland? Harsh prison
treatment in China? Black lawlessness in South Africa? Good grief! Don't we have
a substantial number of "causes" right here in this country, without poking our
collective noses in every other country in the world?

and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
