i honestly don't know which figure disgusts me more.
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov
Is this not the most stomach churning image folks have seen in a while?
No surprise. At the end of the day they need friendly relationships with their neighbors and at least Iran is opposed to the Taliban taking power unlike Pakistan. Doesn't lower the disgust any though.

To sit down with these men and deal with them as the representatives of an enlightened and civilized people is to deride ones own dignity and to invite the disaster of their treachery - General Matthew Ridgway
I suppose if I look around I wont find some politicians (from democratic countries) shaking hands with dictators or football players giving nazi salutes ?

Iran is their neighbour... and a much better one than Pakistan.
it's one of those "if only you knew how bad it was" sort of things. iran doesn't want the taliban to take over-- but they're quite happy at making the coalition and afghans bleed as bad as they can before they go.

troung, tronic,

However that is business as usual. We did it to them during Iran-Iraq they feel they deserve some payback (inlcudes Iraq). Ultimately having good relations with Iran and India is good for Afghanistan as its a counter to Paksitan. Plus good relations would give them ready access to energy if they ever crawl out of the stone age.
Not as sickening as it being posted in these forums and then attested to be sickening by a bunch of white boys with large post counts guess now i have to wait for this tread to be shifted to a trash can.
Goodbye.

Wow....just wow.
Guess who the waste of bandwidth is Lilo?
“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
