Calling racism for what it is, is appropriate. You do not refrain from calling KKK members racists when it is obvious they are racists.

The "race card" refers to the inappropriate labeling of an action to be racist which clearly is not or using race to deflect from obviously racist actions as is the case in the variety of affirmative action policies held by our various American government and private enterprises.

Using others as pawns when you are not prepared to take action yourself is wrong. In this case, it is racism and bigotry squared. The Northern Alliance is not even close to understanding that they are about to be discarded and demonized should they try and maintain control of their own nation.

When the KKK spews racist nonsense, such as asserting that white couples don't have to get marriage licenses, they are obvious.

Yep. You're just plain stupid.

Dropping bombs is not taking action. Sending in special ops to work with the NA is not taking action. Coordinating movements with the NA is not taking action.

Nobody's listening to you, Demigod.

You and Zviadist are like a couple of teenage girls who wear each other's clothes while the rest of us just sit here and laugh like hell.

Do you deny the fact that the Northern alliance does not want us in their country anymore that the Taliban does? Do you realize that if the Afgans decided to be non-combatents in this war that we would have 100,000 troops over there. We are only rolling with the flow and using the tools that are available. We are not forcing them to engage the enemy.

If we inserted the requisite number of troops needed for this operation and the Afgans participated like they are now, the death toll on the Afgan side would be staggering. These guys don't wear uniforms. It would be a huge UN syle failure. In this case it is better to let the locals do the ground operation with our support. The job is getting done beautifully.
