You know, these crazies keep on talking about a jihad. What are they going to do? Jihad against everyone? Precisely. That's the mission of Islam. Convert the world or war against it.

...forge a much closer relationship with Russia - like offering NATO membership. I have trouble seeing a justification for NATO now, bring Russia in and what exactly is Nato's mission. I have a better idea. Rather than us bringing Russia in, lets let Russia take our place.

Thnaks for the link. Unfortunately, Afghanistan has not been the subject of much academic study before, and most people have no idea what "The Great Game" is - as evidenced by the replies on this thread.

There are some "real" changes going on in Russia. The Greek Orthodox Church is reviving. Putin has become a Christian and attends the G.O. Church. I believe that Russia has a good future now, and I trust Bush's instincts on Putin. We need to work at making Russia our ally. Their culture is more closely related to ours than many of our other allies.

That's all well and good...and I hope Putin's conversion is authentic and that he finds peace in Christ. BTW it's the Russian Orthodox Church. All that said...my statements referred to our participation in NATO. What's it's purpose other than to be a standing army for the NWO. I'm not a real big global conspiracy type, but Nato is clearly a tool for the one world types. I want out.

LOL, you're right....Russian Orthodox Church. It's been a long day and I'm brain dead. Drove over 300 miles in the rain. As for Nato, I know nu.....thinggg. Simply regurgitating what I had read about Putin. I was encouraged, and I've always thought Russia was hi-jacked by the Communists.

Actually to be more accurate, it's the Eastern Orthodox Church, and Putin is a member of the Patriarchy of Russia...all one church, just different Patriarchs. As for Putin, he was baptised at birth, he didn't "convert".

We need to be very careful here. I'd like to think we could truly work with Russia - to have a relationship based on trust. However, I'm a bit concerned with Russia's sudden surge in cooperation. My fear is another Yalta-like betrayal, where we let Russia get involved - only to have them remain behind once this is all over. The last thing we need is a Russian military presence on an eastward trajectory. Russia's already involved in fighting the terrorism: it has been aiding the Northern Alliance for years, and it's been fighting the jihad international in Chechnya. While America facilitated the rise of islamic fundamentalism and terrorism by helping the "mujahedeen" in Afghanistan and by its tacit support of "good" terrorists in Chechnya and the Balkans.

I bet there are quite a few Russian soldiers that would like to go back to Afghanistan for payback. No need, there are lots of mujahedeen scum that needs to be cleaned up in Chechnya. It would help immensely if America finally condemned the Chechen terrorists instead of supporting them and pushing Russia to come to a "political solution".
To: Stavka2
You're rigt , of course. How humbling it is to have your correction of another corrected. Oh well.

Aren't the members of the Northern Alliance also radical fundamentalists? Will they become the next problem, particularly for Russia, after the Taliban is gone?

I didn't know that the United States were supporting the Chechen rebels/terrorists. Are Chechen rebels/terrorists practicing their rebellion by attacking outside of their country/area?
Now, for the USSR and Afghanistan, those were separate countries, and the US could help. Russia and the Chechyna area, those are part of the same country.
