M.D. ...they're definitely joking. I promise. That's all sarcasm.

WHAT ARE YOU TWO TALKING ABOUT??? Ew... that kind of knee-jerk blind jingo neoconservatism is what got us into this mess, and now you want to invade barely autonomous former Soviet Bloc countries just to service your appetite for death and domination? Have you no respect for national sovereignty, or has your desire to police the world blinded you to the immorality of invading and destroying whole other countries? Get off this website if you're going to spout interventionist, murderous, imperialist dogma. You've polluted free-thinking individuals' minds enough with your garbage. Yuck!!

If only we had more troops in Afghanistan to take them all on from every direction.

No Jeff, we need troops in Pakistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran. That way we can surround them in every direction!
