It was i-node who made the claim that the Soviets went into Afghanistan because of Carter. If it hadn't of been for Afghanistan, the Soviet Union likely would have hung on longer.

Have you followed the story of the polygamists in TX that were raided recently? The hairdos on the women crack me up........they look like they are from the ole West.
