Personally, I'm not too comfortable with the idea that the US gets to decide what rights Afghan nationals have in Afghanistan.<BR/><BR/>Part of the problem is that the local law is not very palatable to most Canadians (or Americans).<BR/><BR/>This does not avoid the fact that it's not our country and our laws are of very limited application there.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862597168871768315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-85676735045308119002009-02-21T19:29:00.000-05:002009-02-21T19:29:00.000-05:00What do you want to bet Obama changes the Presiden...What do you want to bet Obama changes the Presidential term to 10 years next?sooeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07259420303500863081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-29235035640587104842009-02-21T15:32:00.000-05:002009-02-21T15:32:00.000-05:00I think this maybe a mixture of jurisdiction and "...I think this maybe a mixture of jurisdiction and "Fuck don't we have enough other very serious crap to fix here at home" coupled with choosing which fights to pick the Republicants.<BR/><BR/>Yes it would be nice if he could fix everything all at once, but even Mr. Obama is human. I'll settle for getting out of Iraq, fixing Afghanistan, repairing the economy and repairing the DOJ and restoring democracy in the USA during his first two years.Zorpheoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618889126077232837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-3873217420966260982009-02-21T15:22:00.000-05:002009-02-21T15:22:00.000-05:00Yes.

It's entirely true that there are such low standards.<BR/><BR/>As someone who was never captivated by Obama, I'll now add this: The man genuinely thought there was something worthwhile on the other side of the aisle.
