Oh Golly! I mean... D*uh!!!!

OF COURSE invading a sovereign state occupied by Muslims will anger Muslims. OF COURSE you will lose the "war against terrorism" because every "terrorist" you kill recruits ten. Fu*k*its!!

Sorry. I apologise for the language, but this absurd, nonsensical attitude of "We are the Cowboys, we always win" just kills me. It's like watching your own child walk out into the traffic.

The answer, as I have said before, is to look at your own failings. Apologise to those good people you have aggrieved (yes, you have, and many of them) and MAKE FRIENDS with the world.

We love you, we respect you, but we need a little love and respect in return...

Yours

The Rest of the World.
