You know, in a way, it all comes down to the same problem. Why can’t the damn muslims stop being such a bunch of tools?

The humanitarian thing would have been to teach them a real sport. Giving them soccer balls shows them that we want to keep them out of the first world.

(And yes, I’m saying the reason soccer isn’t popular in the United States is because we think we’re better than everyone else.)

#29 You may or may not be crazy.

But you are correct in your interpretation of my post at #8. It surprises me that someone would not understand. I guess they teach a revised Golden Rule these days.

“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, unless they are Muslim. If they are Muslim the Christian thing to do is to insult and demean them.”

this is just absurd.

i think the only reason the world over bends over backwards for these people is because everyone is afraid they’ll scream jihad at the drop of a pin and rain a thousand body parts down on them. (theres an oil joke here too, but it escapes me atm)

i’m sure muslims everywhere laugh there asses off every time they get some major world power to cower in a corner begging for forgiveness because they offended the nation of islam or some such..

pretty sad state of affairs if you ask me.

I never understood why we decided to occupy after the Taliban were ousted.

We should have just left with a warning that the next time the country’s gov’t decides to host people who attack us we’ll REALLY pave the place over.

Will have to admit my lack of understanding. When I read the word football I immediately wondered why we would be dropping NFL footballs in Afghanistan.

I suppose it could have been a marketing gimic dreamed up by Roger Goodell. Maybe that is how the commissioner’s name translates in their language!

#21, traaxx,

You should have realized, but aren’t smart enough to, that it’s either convert, become a dehimmi or fight.

You have a real penchant for trolling. You’re not too bright either.

C’mon… this is just a dumb mistake… whether you respect religion or not.

Anyone who’s lived among Muslims for fifteen minutes, would know not to do this. One has to wonder how insulated our military is from the local population.

I thought #8 was only implying that its silly to put holy messages on things that you abuse all day with your feet.

maybe I’m just crazy…….

No, it’s just stupid to bring it up gratuitously and irrelevantly.

If they are dropping soccer balls from helicopters over there, I hope they are the “iron soccer balls” from the short lived DU post of last week.

#22 “It only took 8 comments for the usual “but what about the big bad CHRISTIANS?” non-sequitor, this time.”

So it’s OK to insult Muslims but not OK to insult Christians?

Aren’t we Christians special!

21 We have a mess to clean up, but it’s weenie leftist that will keep us from doing it.

And who made the mess that needs cleaning-up? Weenie leftists?

21 We have no common interest…

Yes we do:
“In 2005, the United States and Afghanistan signed a strategic partnership agreement committing both nations to a long-term relationship.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghanistan

Did “weenie leftists” negotiate that treaty?
