I suppose these American Jews opposed bombing Afghanistan?

Mr. Hunter responded:
Actually, they are English and Russian. No, they didn't oppose the war in Afghanistan. In fact, the Russian was all for it, apparently Russia would have probably had a war with the Taliban in a couple of years anyway. The fact that the US and its allies are getting rid of the Taliban is great from the Russian perspective.

Sounds like he is still loyal to the Soviets. The UK should screen better.

No, actually I am English and have never even visited the USA.

That's rather provincial. You really should visit sometime.
I have relatives in England and have been to London, Cambridge, Oxford and Leeds.

As for your views, I get the feeling that you are still annoyed with Israel over the incidents preceding British withdrawl.

Actually its a she. Apparently, the Russians were threatening to bomb the Taliban in 2000 because they were a threat to the bordering Russian Federation states. She told me that a war between Russia and the Taliban would have been guaranteed in a year or to, but for the 11th of September attacks.

I don't recall expressing any views, just asking questions.

I am not against the Israelis. They are being attacked by suicide bombers and obviously have a right to defend themselves. But I can't help thinking that the methods they are using are likely to encourage Palestinian hatred against them and make terrorism even more of a problem in the future.

Oh, so if Russians are for getting rid of the Taliban, then they must be Soviets, but if Americans are for it, then they must be freedom lovers.

Explain to me, how are you any different from the arab moral equivalists and forked tongued politicians? Do you even see your own hypocracy? Probably not. Or is this just a knee jerk reaction to your general hatred of Russians?
