Think about that. And think about what Johnson actually did in the following 4 years. And think about Afghanistan. Personally I am rather fearful for the future course of events over there. It does not look good, not at all.'' Hi All, Stephen is right. The Russians are going to pay us back for driving them out by having Osama bin Laden shoot down their helicopters with Stinger missiles, eventually costing them the end of the Russian empire and the loss of the "stans". And the stans have the easy oil, the kind we know how to drill for. If we don't get off foreign oil NOW, Afghanistan and the rest of Central Asia will become a stinking death pit for Americans, as our children and grandchildren are herded off to fight the Kazakh War of 2020.
