Libya is an islamist yes, that is lamentable, but the poeple are to blame now instead.

The islamists party banned free spech, it legalises sharia law. there are not better than gadafi, in fact they are worser.The only diference is that the islamists are a puppet of the West , Gadafi in compare was a souvernous leader recpected in Third world countries At least Libya had the chance if Saif islam got the government. I think you are not stupid and google it, speak with somebody who is from Libya and hear what they say about the islamist. Stop aksing for a link, it is ignorant.

For fucks sake, I already said the Islamists in power are bad, the diffrence between them and Gadaffi is that the islamists were chosen by the people to be in charge, reagardless of wheter or not they are "worser".

Asking for a link is not ignorant, you have the burden of proof, not I.

Good one. Still, without that it's probable that TR would not have become President. We wouldn't have Puerto Rico and without Puerto Rico we wouldn't have Buffy. Without the Philippines we wouldn't have had "Back To Bataan." So, you know, it's a trade-off.

We could have done without the Phillippines. Even if we lost Back to Bataan.

They think so because it was a complete military cluster-fuck, trying to fight the Korean War in Vietnam, and underestimating the enemy.

I'd say 2008, Georgia vs Russia.

The Bear just said "Wow, you're dumb as shit."

Seriously, why did Georgia think they would win against an obviously-better equipped, better trained, and bigger military?

Anyone who says Iraq, Afghanistan, or Vietnam needs to learn a little thing called perspective. Were they stupid? Yes, but by far nowhere near what WWI was.

Did they really do the same 18th century tactics (like in the British Empire vs USA) in WW1?
