Sigh, let me help you. re: the sole legitimate ruler of Afghanistan? do you know how silly that sounds? Here's mindmeld's post that started the discussion about the UAE's belief that the Taliban is the government of Afghanistan. Message 22204546 we think that a country (UAE) that has stated that they still think the Taleban is the only legitimate gov't of Afghanistan* isn't worthy of controlling our ports.* I disagreed with the statement about the UAE. Then you jumped in seeming to agree, with this post. http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=92573 "The Emirates are sympathetic to the Taliban and some see the invitation as a dangerous threat to U.S. cities" And I pointed out that your post is an unsubstantiated opinion of an article writer, not a statement of UAE government policy by the UAE government. So tell me what is silly again? what you are saying that facts are irrelevant, right? I am saying that your support for mindmeld's claim (in bold, above) has no basis in fact. That's what I'm saying. Mindmeld's claim (above) is incorrect. It's simple, easy to understand English.
