I feel sorry for USA honestly, they tried to civilize the un-civilized, to try an give them a taste of what it feels like to express yourself in a day to day basis ( you LL's hold privelledges to type your opinion on LL). People in a western style society have no idea how privelledged they are, afghanistanis are literally oppressed , you don't think their is an talented artist, musician or brilliant mind amongst those females who are "forced" to wear tents? Look at any immigrant from t More..

you are exactly right, Islam before 1000AD held some of the brightest minds in the world, for example Algebra is a arabic word. that region could have been the scientific that would put us to shame if it was not for islam which labeled freethought and schooling the work of the Devil and ended it. Those genes still run through those people Boy and Girl, if only we could free them to open thier minds.

You wanna know something funny? Islam did not contribute so much to mathematics as the world so often perceives, in fact it was the work of Chaldeans and Assyrians who laid the foundations of mathematics. Islam basically came and worked upon what was already a built up area of knowledge, also very deceivingly throughout the past 500 years Islam has been attempting to address the ethnic Assyrians as Arabs,aiming to take credit for something they did not come up with. Assyrians as j More..

I feel for that first lady. Dad, my best friend, died last June unexpectedly and I was so busy with the company that I had no time to grieve. It hit me like a brick about a month ago. Worse feeling in the world. My heart goes out to the families of fallen soldiers.

What did that family expect?
The guy is going to Afghanistan to protect the Oppium traffics that Bush's best friend's Kharzai, through his brother, sells to USA with a good percent of the share directly making fat Bush and his best friends.
I mean what the fuck do you expect!? Mercenaries.

what did they expect? it is almost like lightning striking, 10 years of war 1.5 million people deployed, and only 2,000 deaths? what did they expect? that is a .0013% chance of dying. going to war in afghanistan is more safe than a lot of jobs here in the states. So what did they expect, the expected him to come home. the chance of being struck by lightning is 1/1000000.

Lame post
I feel sorry for the fam losing someone unexpected (dont get me wrong here), but this stuff is kind of expected when someone goes into war... when someone dies, the family is sad, we know these things... its common sense. Life goes on, another family will be crying next week.... its war. This is like recording a crying family after a car crash, but making a description for the video on blaming the automaker for not making the cars safe enough... the world does not end perfect for ever More..
