Hear hear.

But the great unwashed don't have the urge to question....sheep just follow the leader.

Unfortunately, democracy is a system whereby the sheep get to make momentous decisions, simply by dint of their majority.

Sometimes we do not know what is good for us and follow the popular path. Tobacco smoking is an example.

You've been reading the Red shirts vs Yellow shirts threads again haven't you?

No good will come of that, be warned....

Sorry I forgot I had posted that Q in this thread

If you google the difference between al qaeda and the taliban

It will be a good non-inflammatory start to answering your question.

You will see how they formed & for what reasons.

More flammable would be to look into the relationship Osama/Al Queda had with the US

Your question about arab states is a good one & would beg the question...why not occupy there then & the answer

Or Somalia for that matter
