There would be more intrusive surveillance in certain communities, more police officers on the streets, more border officials at harbours and airports, more inspectors of vehicles and vessels entering the country, and a re-examination of arrangements that facilitate the "free movement" of people and products across our frontiers with the rest of the EU.</i><br /><br />Sounds like so much fun, and that is the sound of the terrorists pretty much getting what they wanted.Commander Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-45637942828560813832009-11-04T15:31:28.245-08:002009-11-04T15:31:28.245-08:00Yet another comparison to Lyndon Johnson. Already ...Yet another comparison to Lyndon Johnson. Already the president's critics, not schooled in the history of wars, make continual comparisons between Afghanistan and Vietnam, and Obama and Johnson. Different times and completely different set of facts.<br /><br />I think we all agree that we don't need to shed American blood for the safety and freedom of a foreign nation. That is their problem, not ours. It doesn't matter that if the Taliban regains power, which it will when we leave, the Afghan women will be persecuted, denied an education, and executed for the slightest infraction. It doesn't matter that those who tried to set up a government and tried to restore and maintain order will be murdered by the religious whack jobs who are once again in control. It won't matter that al Qaeda, a global terrorist organization estimated by some at over a million strong, will once again have a safe base of operation from which they can plot ways to destroy America and other western nations. None of this matters. We just need to get the hell out.Kentucky Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16753739401363847764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-20376536887906158802009-11-04T07:57:03.655-08:002009-11-04T07:57:03.655-08:00First, in a series.....First, in a series.....Vigilantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.com
