It always interests me how newspapers report that Afghanistan and Somalia don't want foriegners in thier land, but neglect to mention that actually the Jihadists and thier supporters don't want enemy foriegners in thier lands.

They don't seem to mind if the people are foriegners fighting for them. I saw this propaganda video on this site:

http://www.nefafoundation.org/multimedia-prop.html#abu_suleim_training

and at the very end you see a person who doesn't look very somalian.

Though after seeing some of these videos, I don't think it is going to matter if we fight in Afghanistan or not. This war is going to go on for a long time, as if the children are being indoctrinated now, then when they reach adulthood, they will just continue the fight.

I do find it interesting that we don't get to see a lot of video on the news showing our soldiers fighting incase it makes us lose our will to win. The Jihadists don't seem to have that problem, thier videos seem to incite thier supporters to continue fighting.

It was explained to me once that when you consider extremists, either right or left. They usually just make up 5% of a society and it this 5% that influence and affect the rest. If even only 5% of all refugees from these places have the training and drive that some of those guys showed, we are going to have some serious problems in the future.

Michael Moore makes the same argument for the States in 'Dude where's my....'

Most Americans are very liberal thinking people and the right knows this so they are driven to push and push their agendas all the more strongly and make liberal such a dirty word that even Liberals themselves feel afraid to admit to it....

Those coming from behind often see the need to fight the hardest... and dirtiest....
