International Burn a Qu'ran Day

But when a "culture" stones a girl for being raped.. Their culture sucks, and might just have to be dealt with like an unruly child.

Hey, we can not judge (as Adam Carolla used to say). All cultures are equally valid. Gotta agree with MB on this one.

When are we going to hear an apology from Karzai for the continued murder of US troops by ANA, ANP, ABP?

He apologizes, he loses what little political strength he has. Apologizing to the Americans? Good luck on that one. It's all a political game to these people.

FTFY. It's all politics. Always has been, always will be.

If you're referring to Karzai - don't give that clown too much credit...

When is CinC going to apologize to the families of those two killed? I mean, he tripped over himself rushing to apologize for the burning.

The President apologizes to families of each servicemember killed? Is that something new?

no - he doesn't, and that's fine - it was rhetorical question (and i suspect you knew that). but to knock down the door to apologize to a corrupt leader of a savage nation for the caveman antics of its people... yeah, that struck me as unfortunate.

Sorry, but if you believe that Sr. B, then you're an unfortunate idiot, IMHO.

The war colleges of all the services hold him in pretty high esteem.

I guess they're all just catching up to the Marine Corps in their studies... After all, it's on the Commandant's Reading List for 2ndLt's/WO-1's/CWO-2's...

For what it's worth, I've read The Art of War probably a half dozen times. I think that it is rather low level thinking, suitable for company grade officers/NCOs. I've also read On War by Clausewitz. I think that's a more suitable book for the level they're supposedly teaching at war colleges.

Agreed. It's a foundation that CW builds upon. They teach Mao here as well. Pretty interesting from an insurgency point of view.

I think you agreeing with me saturated his sarcasm detector.

Then I sincerely apologize. I'm not NATOPS-qualified in smiley-faces and other little cartoon features. I flew in a/c that didn't have computers.
