slovaks stood united even during its short independence btwn ‘41-45 under german occupation.

however, in feudal and imperial societies such as afpak, et al, it is easy for US to make matters worse for people US deems uncooperative or have agendas of which US and europe do not aprove of.

of course, the two cults and the cultists cannot ever tolerate other cults or cultists. thus, such evil and quite dysfunctional empires can be held together only by vitiating and murderous ways.

it seems to me, that hussein’s empire was no more dysfunctional/evil than other feudal empires.
the west, if it had any moral principles, shld have separated peoples of evil empires from one another. but they haven’t.
now use these imposed weakness for their own unstated goals and interests.
have we ever been this criminal? can it get even dumber? tnx

Fleshing out the rogues’ gallery one finds: Baitullah Mehsud’s Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), Lashkar-e-Toiba (LET), Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LEJ), or, when all else fails, a “foreign hand,” e.g. India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)." Tom, don't confuse the issue with this detailed analysis. Just call all the good guys "us" and the bad guys "al-Qaeda" like the mass media. Polarise the issue so your faithful adherents (voters) can understand clearly that darker-skinned Arab guys are bad. My attention span can't handle anything subtler than this. “Pakistani Taliban, the Afghan-Arab database of disposable Western intelligence assets also known as al-Qaeda, as well as militants “trained-up fierce” by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence agency (ISI) and America’s CIA have all been named as the responsible parties.
