I’ve made a note of the title and have seen quite a few documentaries over the decades about the formation of Pakistan, unfortunately this conflict has never ended nor will it end in my lifetime. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 5:16 pm Ask him, everybody else does. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 5:09 pm I would imagine the people who still live there and those who died there, think and thought so. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 5:04 pm Oh what a dark and miserable Tokyo morning it is too. Hubby is at the Narita airport waiting to fly to Barcelona through Frankfurt. Guess what, it’s raining in Germany and in Spain too. The looking for opinions similar to our own seems to be the norm with some people and yet they will be the first to call out the Woo Woo’s for doing the same. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 3:55 pm We signed a treaty after the war and so did Japan, I don’t think that the minds of the people can be changed so easily. Both in Germany and Japan, we still feel the consequences of war and the senseless killing it produced. Morally, we can’t afford to bend the rules. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 3:43 pm Hi nellie. The pros and cons of the information out there on the internet are that people tend to search for opinions very similar to their own and this in turn helps them to assert that they must be correct. The lack of media coverage of your President’s speech was mind boggling to me and of course the RW mumblings even more so. I find that Americans are quite impatient with many things, yet they demand a good outcome, sometimes without the extra effort, things go stale and rot. No one in their right mind likes wars, but we are there and should try our best to fix what the Bush administration left up in the air. I think that Obama deserves this chance too, he has already been trying to clean up the stinky droppings Bush left behind, this is one of them. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 3:34 pm Let me ask you this Mo, when since it’s conception, has Pakistan ever been peaceful? I look at it like this this, Pakistan is a poor country, constantly in political turmoil, a corrupt and greedy government being financed by aid to stop the terrorists, which they are reluctant to do, and they have nukes. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 3:23 pm People thinks he can walk on water you know. In his first year he is expected to fix the economy destroyed by Bushy, give everyone including household pets affordable healthcare, stop global warming, personally go to Iraq and Afghanistan and get every single soldier out and on their way home, fix the energy crisis and somehow ensure world peace while people sit on their arses and criticize him for everything, including the occasional Sunday off. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 3:16 pm This article by Huff’s Bob Cesco made me realize once again why the reluctance of the military in Pakistan to deal with the Taliban and the remnants of Al Qaida on their northern borders, makes it imperative to see the war in Afghanistan to a more solid conclusion. This brings me back to the question I always ask when I hear about another terrorist attack in Pakistan, just how safe are their nukes and do we really want to leave Afghanistan unstable enough to allow the continued infiltration of the Taliban? iI so, why start this war in the first place, what do we say to the families of the fallen soldiers, what do we say to the families of innocent Afghans who had no choice in what has happened in their lawless country during the last 8 years? It could have been over but for George twiddling his thumbs, while Cheney and Rumy planned to steal Iraq’s oil to profit from their rich friends. I think that your President faced one of the hardest decisions he will ever have to make, although we are all tired of the fighting, can we not at least give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that after the 18 months, he will start to pull the troops out, must we all be armchair generals, could we do better? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bob-cesca/obamas-unavoidable-cure-f_b_377482.html » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 3:00 pm My pleasure nelli. Good day and good night. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 6:25 am You are welcome AB. I’ve been following Michael Tomasky since your primaries last year and found him always spot on, certainly never afraid to offer his opinions or observation. A breath of fresh air after reading the usual line of criticism day in and day out. Say hello to your “girls” from all of us, we wish them well. » Posted By Kalima On December 2, 2009 @ 4:19 am I like this journalist and often find myself agreeing with his opinions. http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/dec/02/barack-obama-speech-churchill-moment A look from the other side, the military and their families. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091202/ap_on_re_us/us_afghanistan_military_reaction » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 11:52 pm I missed the first few minutes live on CNN but it sounded that way to me as well. I heard no commitment to dragging it on for another God knows how many years. Although I doubt it very much, I hope this shuts up the Cheney Family, they really don’t have any legs left to stand on now. Good riddance! Good night nellie. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 11:12 pm You betcha and for a little sport in between, Ms. Mooseburger parked by the back of her waders on the point at the top of the Empire State Building. I take no prisoners! » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:57 pm Wild Thing!! » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:28 pm Ok, Hulkalima sounds Hawaiian, nice, but I must warn you that it’s cold here today, so I would go with Bulkalima for now. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:27 pm I’ll have a bit of what you’re having, make mine a double. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:18 pm LOL, I’ve been called a lot of things in my lifetime but…….. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:15 pm My arse is freezing! » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:13 pm Gosh yes, I’ll see if the new ditsy PM will provide the ships to lug them over there, maybe the teabaggers would like to drop off in Kenya first to take some photos of the President’s grandmother. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:10 pm Still a little inside out but I know you will fix it, you always do. 🙂 Well yes, my chest pops out and I grow thick, curly black hairs on it. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:06 pm They most certainly are, now give them back please! » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 10:01 pm Initial reaction from the Beeb U.K. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/markmardell/2009/12/the_commanderinchief_walked_on.html » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 9:45 pm In my opinion, never, not as long as I breathe and who knows maybe even after that. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 8:03 pm Are our comments upside down or have I put both legs in one pant hole again? » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 7:58 pm We all bear a responsibility, we are all part of this human race. Closing our eyes like we did as children doesn’t work anymore and if we want peace in our lifetime, our children’s lifetime, we need to not be afraid of extending our hands first. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 7:49 pm Psychopath springs to mind when I think of him and Darth, in fact when I think of most of the former administration. » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 7:38 pm “ » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 7:34 pm LOL, I can think of a few choice names, but I refuse to sully my image here. 🙂 » Posted By Kalima On December 1, 2009 @ 7:26 pmComments Posted By Kalima
