This is a century-old lie promoted by the British Raj. Afghanistan has been a real country for most of recorded history. Here's a book that will correct your misconceptions regarding this nation and its modern history: http://www.citylights.com/book/?GCOI=87286100741260 Invisible History: Afghanistan’s Untold Story by Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould; City Lights Books [SC]; Copyright 2009 by Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould; ISBN-13: 978-0-87286-494-8; pp. 295-296. And here's a recent series of interviews about the book with its authors: http://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-685-interview-4-with-paul-fitzgerald-and-elizabeth-gould/ http://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-683-interview-3-with-elizabeth-gould-and-paul-fitzgerald/ http://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-680-interview-2-with-elizabeth-gould-and-paul-fitzgerald/ http://spitfirelist.com/for-the-record/ftr-678-interview-with-paul-fitzgerald-and-liz-gould/ Sincerely, Ted B.

I guess you people can't take a little sarcasm with your Progressive reality. Think about THIS on your Thanksgiving holiday a-holes. Call you didn't allow on the air. 11-25-09 will be posted on blog: I think Obama is just playing the reality card in Afghanistan. I think it’s TIME we just admit the USA is a war loving nation. Most of our manufacturing base is for the military and we’re the biggest arms dealing, war profiteering civilization in the history of humanity… Our economy would fail if not for our Military industrial infrastructure… So why not make it work for all American citizens. We could use our military to conquer wealthy countries and convert their assets to US dollars. We could force China, India and many European nations to FORGIVE OUR NATIONAL DEBT or else. Every nation on the planet could be strong-armed to pay a yearly fee to be under the well-armed umbrella of our PROTECTION. Y’know like the mafia does. Hey, the American taxpayer paid for the Pentagon, we might as well use it for our advantage. NOTE: (even your Progressive Radio Network depends on military monies. I just heard an ad during your show for the Air Force Reserve, ohm, it was so flag-wavingly hawkish it made me want to get in a street fight, lol) Thanks for keeping me on hold for 35 minutes and while taking those boring calls from your regulars.

I'd rather all my taxes that go to the above programs go to support the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. They deserve my support a lot more than ACORN. Oh yeah, I'm not rich. We live on a gross $42K per year. We pay for health insurance and my total tax burden is a lot more than 22%.
