Russia is just chomping at the bit for us to wail on Aphganistan. They will most likely join in as we complete what they could not succeed at themselves years back.
Imagine that, USA and Russia combined assaults on a bunch of mudhouses.
Army is 100% on the mark.

Thordic, I agree that we have fault in what the Midde East has become. How do we fix it? Stick our head in the sand? Do we turn our back to Israel to appease the followers of the Taliban? Do we just let them fight it out, give them all guns and wish them the best of luck?
I believe that without our influence in the Middle East they'd just kill each other more quickly. It's never been very peaceful area. You use the Phillipines and Libya as examples of the Imperialistic ideas of the US. What about Japan and Germany after WWII? Seems to me their "alternate methods..." turned out pretty well for everyone.
As for the rest of the Imperialistic Ideas we have; who are we applying them to, oppressing, forcing our will on, trying to civilize? Aside from Israel, I don't know of a country in the Middle East that we have any regular involvement with. In the Gulf War we prevented them from becoming involved. Was that wrong?
Osama bin Laden isn't trying to fight American ideas, morals or our "Imperialism" he is trying to end the US support for Israel. Why? So Arabs can get back to killing Arabs again, I guess.
