guess you never heard of the Afghanistan war or Chechnya rebels.

Would Afghanistan have been the USSR's vietnam without our help? Or would the muzzies have had the asses handed to em?

As for Chechnya, well, their expolding, say, a suitcase nuke in Gronzy, wouldn't be quite same as their doing so Moscow, now would it?

So IMO, we're seen as a lot weaker to muslims than are the Russians and Russia.
