RE:"Can we get off the "anti-PC" rant" Hey, I think the PC will endure despite the call for specific high tech appliances to replace it. Mainly because of the versatility of the PC... Those who have written off the PC have been very wrong so far... Oh, the other PC...why would I stop that rant? We have had the pro politically correct rant for years...look what it got us...a bunch of failed policies both foreign and domestic. Lawyers did well though..lol Jim

"Hell, most of them don't even have running water" Excuse me. How the absence of running water can qualify anyone as "not the enemy" of the U.S.? Do you think that Al Queda camps all have running water, or what? "..but the Afghani people are not the enemy. ..The Taliban is everyone's enemy ...Bin Laden is the enemy, and should join the Taliban and do-do." So, you have identified the enemy, and ready to shoot? Or you are still confused: "It seems to me America is having trouble with "enemy identification" at this point. The enemy isn't easy to see" ? So, did you identify the enemy, or did not? Let me help you to understand something. All facts seem to point to a rather simple circle: ...Money of Ben Laden/Taliban -> Koran schools -> young kids learning jihad ideology -> young men go "practicing jihad" in Ben Laden camps -> selected individuals got assignments -> their big families are kept hostage -> -> terror act successful-family rewarded, the individual proclaimed as a national hero -> Taliban/Laden trade short on all stock markets and oil markets -> sustainable money to train jihad heroes; the circle closes. The details above may not be completely accurate, but that's how I have formed my OPINION that "their whole society" is an enemy of America, their ideology if you wish. Now give me your theory how you are going to deal with all this. I said "contain or[and] cure". Your recipe - kill Laden and talibans. What could be possibly "racistic" with "containing" a disease and finding a cure for it?
