OPINION

Corrupt government could be here or there

Sunday, November 29, 2009
(Updated 3:00 am)

I read the Associated Press article in our paper on Nov. 20. In the article, it seems that our government and NATO are questioning why our troops and their troops are being asked to die for a corrupt and inefficient government.

Just which corrupt and inefficient government are they asking about? Is it the Karzai government or our government?
I find it difficult to tell the difference between the two.

It's easy to tell the difference, Karzai is the one who wears the turban hat and snuggle in public...

Pretty pitiful comments on a pitiful letter. To even compare our government to a third world country ruled by warlords is laughable. But on the larger picture it shows the depth of understanding we've grown to expect from Mr. danagain, Mr. neocon, and Mr/Ms Lakeshia.

Mr. danagain, why don't you check out "Kite Runner" or better yet, get it for yourself for Christmas. Since you have proven to be a passive learner, I will suggest the book on tape version.

We're heading that way quickly Sir Smug. When the Communist Chinese are our chief banker and are worried about our ballooning debt....yep we are heading that way. When you have both federal and state level politicians serving jail time for corruption we are heading that way. Not to say we will ever reach the level of Afghanistan but stayed tuned.
