- I have written countless essays concerning this on my blog as to why this will happen - you are welcome to read them. There are those of us who are patriotic American citizens - who are experts on the subject because they have lived it - and not simply studied about it in some east coast ivy league school - it is irritating to say the least that we sit here and watch the same damn mistakes being made over and over again - im sick of it - you should be sick of it and all americans should be sick of it - who in God's name thinks that Susan Rice or Hillary Clinton really know what the hell they are talking about half the time - and so they try to look smart by surrounding themselves with muslims - never having the common sense to think that these muslims might have an agenda of their own that is contrary to our own values. This is one of our nation's biggest problems. They put full faith in those opposed to us and discredit their own citizens. If you need an example just look at the translators in Afghanistan or Iraq and how many problems have come from this - how many of those translators are American citizens - dont be surprised if it is less than 2% my FRiends.
We can thank Obama for turning to two more countries into Islamist nations - but you can rest assured FRiends he is not finished.
Are you really in Southeast Asia? If so, which nation?
...just look at the translators in Afghanistan or Iraq and how many problems have come from this....
Mooselimbs having their own agenda? Nooooooo.... they love us - look we even have some working with us! We would have better, valuable, cooperation if we only offered them even more money! ;o)
But seriously, I always try to learn some of the local language (and the slang for names they call you), but usually don't tell any translators, that. Just for starters (it gets much worse as you know, and I won't go into that), it's amazing how some of them will openly give out information when they are supposed to be doing the opposite... or speak with disdain for those they are working for.
