When we were arming and training the Afghans to fight the Russians, we promised them that after the Russians left we would help them rebuild their country. We didn't. We just left and they had a civil war which the Taliban won. Now we are fighting the Taliban, but they know two things. (1) Our government cannot be trusted to keep it's word, and (2) we are going to have to leave sooner than later.That our government is not trustworthy is not particularly surprising. We don't trust it either. What happened to all of the President's campaign promises? Transparency? No. Stop renditions? No. Close Guantanamo? No. GET OUT OF AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ? No. DADT? TBTF? No. Stop the useless war on drugs? No. Brother Barack, I don't want to hear you talk about figuring out whose ass to kick. I want you to get someone in the Attorney-General's office to investigate EVERYONE in congress for corruption. Obtaining proof 'beyond the shadow of a doubt' will take about an hour. Then I want you to get some US Marshals and a few Marine Gunnery Sergeants Marines to go over there and send them all to Gitmo to be waterboarded. And then I want you to do the same thing with the new crop of robber barons who are destroying the country. And then I want you to find that little cocksucker Tony from BP and actually KICK his lying little ass. And then I want you to investigate all the lobbyists for corrupt practices. Then the entire Bush cabinet. Then YOU and YOUR cabinet.Because all of the fucking 'little people' are working up to a Marie Antionette moment.

People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero - 55 BC
