    I'm not sure what has happened, but why should a moderator be able to edit a comment about him self , should be left up to another moderator to decide .

        You use the word in a derogatory fashion, so you're hardly an opinion worth seeking.

          Repeat.... wasn't me. Doubt I have access anyways, and even if I did, I wouldn't bother, for just this reason.

          So apparently the boss is sending a message. Take it up with the boss then, why it's so damned important to call people names, like we're all back in 5th grade in the lunch room.

            Never mind all this chit. no one responded to this post by me....

            Now DT.... did you say ....My real tears are for the young Afghan women who will suffer sexual brutality at the hands of Taliban thugs. ....?

            You do of course realize they're Muslims and hardly worth a tear from anyone here right ? Not to mention we didn't actually go there to help them, we invaded because we were told they harbored our enemies that had done us harm . You know ... kind of like Iraq where we invaded an enemy nation and three months later it was renamed "Operation Iraqi Freedom" .... like we wanted be good guys or something.

            Funny you would have tears for those Muslim women of an enemy nation when our own neighbors suffering a similar plight show up at our borders and its an immediate " Eff Em "

            Donald Trump promised to do this very same thing and yank the troops ..... sorry, he couldn't have done it any differently . And you wouldn't have even mentioned it if he had .

            Watch the movie again ... Charlie Wilsons War .... Charlie Wilson was quite correct when he said.... " We just never get it right "

            no agreement or disagreement ? just stupid posts about 3 stoog es chit ? .... that's all ya got ?

                Say what you will,

                but someone, not me, put that label on the xxx list. If you have an issue there, take it up with management.

                As for names being "earned", that's a lousy attitude in my opinion, that assigns all responsibility to the target, not the user.

                But if that's how you think things should go around here, then let me know, because I can think of all kinds of well-earned monikers.

                          Trump, who lives rent free in some folks heads , must be a long lease,,, knew this,
                          it's been discussed before, if you remember, he had a meeting with the taliban but cancelled when they killed some Americans, IIRC

                          that movie was more like a documentary on how we screwed up years ago, and still have not learned from it

                            I have very mixed feelings. Canada lost 150 soldiers in Afghanistan out of our very small military - a huge impact really and we lost them fighting for a country that was so corrupt that their own soldiers deserted because their generals had stolen their pay. A pointed comment in the media the other day made the point that if their army was not willing to fight for their country, why in hell should we send our troops to fight and die for it. There is not a country in the world that functions properly if the government and the officials are corrupt. Nobody of course was prepared to take the drastic action necessary and that would have been to put some of the corrupt senior officials against a wall and let the soldiers whose pay was stolen shoot them.

                            On the other hand, our government has recognized that the people who helped us (interpreters etc.) would be taken care of if possible. The target is to bring 20,000 of them (including families) to Canada so at least they won't be executed by the Taliban

                              Understand, Afghanistan is the perfect breeding and training ground for terrorism. It will be a running sore for generations.
