The stated goal of the Taliban and Al Queda leadership is an Islamic Caliphate stretching from Spain to Baghdad. So next time I hear any "activist" shrieking about Imperialism, I may just throw up.Anyones response to what is going on, especially in Afghanistan, is going to be shaped by their knowledge of the realities in that region. The Pakistan/Afghan border is the seat of global terrorism. If we allow (we in the global sense) the Taliban to resurface, it will mean more attacks and more innocent deaths. Unlike Iraq, Afghanistan really is a "fight them there, or fight them here" situation. As to the effect of the Iraq war on the college-aged population in the US, I'm guessing its minimal. Unlike in Vietnam, the US now has a volunteer army, making most kids chances of getting blown up in Kirkuk pretty slim. Outside of the protest anything and everything US set (led of course by the ever diminishing Noam Chomsky), most kids are more concerned about whats going to happen on the OC.Me? I just don't like Facism and, unlike most, I can properly identify it. The US is not a Fascist, Imperialist State. Anyone making that charge should be forced to live in one for even a day.I've heard the movie is good though.

On the night the Lions honour the great '64 Lions led by the inimitable Joe Kapp they win big. I wonder if this is why I always like #22?
