(2) Why nationalism?

[Innocentius]

I knew the question was rhetorical and only stated the obvious.

I never said that, did I? Don't put words in my mouth, please.

Not much for charity, but you believe in Socialism. So in other words, you're all about being generous with other people's money, just not your own. Interesting perspective. You've got my vote for honesty, I'll give you that.

Nah, I don't believe in Socialism as I'm way too aware that people are too egoistic for such a society to work (some would call it cynisism). Also, I don't see what Socialism has to do with being generous at all.

In any case, you appear to be building a case in your own mind for calling people like me, those that would take military action to defend their own way of life, predjudiced. So be it. Call me any name you want. I'm not really concerned with your opinion of me or what names you can come up with.

Well, on the subject of Talibans, they didn't really cause any trouble to the average American before the US decided it was a good idea to put troops in the Middle East and deal with weapons with various countries. Of course, why would you be so desperate (paranoid?) about defending your way of life that you go for a pre-emptive strike against a militant religious sect hundreds of kilometres away?
