    And if you going to argue for or against it your going to have to deal with people who generally don't know what the economical models are, and just don't have the time to sit threw a bunch of information on Google. To find out what the general broadest view of those two economic models are. Next it would be efficient and also interesting to see if one can at least explain and characterize there view on which ever side there defending in order to get more people to agree with them and or at least show they have a half decent understanding of what there talking about; the majority of time when people say just Google it they them self's have no idea what there talking about and only have the most basic of understanding of the view there defending and if they did they would at least have the ability to explain to someone who has litterly no idea what it is?

    Next on the flip side if your the other side if your one of the people who generally don't have the time to explain the economic models to someone: Then make time. For if you tell them to go to Google there is a very limited chance they will go and thus learn nothing and if you explain it to them from your own viewpoints your more likely going to swing the person over to your side and thus have a follower and by explaining your viewpoints your open to attack and argument; which you should with having a knowledgeable understanding be able to defend and counter attack any argument made against your claim; if you do that then there is in my opinion you have not only succeed in winning over a supporter of your argument but have defend it from the opposing force.

    Thats just my stance on the entire "Go Google it" situation, how about you explain it yourself if you agree or disagree with it.

    You should be able to find information on your own and not need someone to hold your hand throughout the process. When things get really obscure, go ahead and ask but this is probably the two most talked about economic theories. I could figure out what they mean in about 1 minute.

    In an oversimplified manor: "Everyone is happy so long as the money changes hands."

    In terms of this conversation Keynesian economics refers to government intervention in order to stave of economic catastrophe (like the bailout) as opposed to Hayek who would argue that the government is the cause of economic problems as a result of over regulation. As noted though you could just wiki them and have a basic understanding.

    No, why did we go in in the first place? I don't see a reasonable answer.

    Also what the hell would our investment "return"?

    That's what I meant when I called it a bullshit investment.
    Not much. But I'd like for the Taliban or Al-Qaeda not to regain their foothold as soon as we leave.

    This never ceases to puzzle me.. I just really don't think it's a humanitarian cause . There has to be a reason, it may be the US government but they are the most powerful people on the earth, they have to have a motive just like everyone else and I doubt it's to help out some arabs in a desert.

    The reason we went there is because the Taliban government were harboring Al-Qaeda. So once we cleared out the Taliban and forced Al-Qaeda to relocate, we now have a vulnerable new government to protect. So the new goal is to basically do what we did in Iraq, train up a new defense force so the new Afghanistan government can protect themselves when we leave.

    I will be interested to see on how good a job we did at training the Afghanistan forces and if it won't go back to hell after we leave.

    Afghanistan was because of 9/11. Iraq was less justifieable, but in Afghanistan, we had a legitimate reasone to invade. The Taliban was harboring Al Quaeda.

    Yeah, that's great. Why does that justify invasion? An organization that might blow up some buildings occaisonally, they got us good that one time though. That warrants an invasion .

    I seriously hope you're kidding. I suppose we shouldn't have declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbor, because Japan only occasionally launches an act of war against us.

    Wow. They didn't just "blow up some buildings," they slaughtered over a thousand American citizens. Osama said himself that Al-Qaeda was "at war" with America. So what are we supposed to do when the the government of Afghanistan is protecting a terrorist organization we're at war with? The Taliban gave us no choice but to invade.

    Clear acts of war by world powers and lucky pot shots by terrorist organizations are a little different, if I do say so myself.

    It's official. Rick Perry is toast.



    How embarrassing. I actually felt sorry for him there, but only just a little.

    Sad, I kind of liked Rick Perry. Its not that I agreed with a lot of his agenda, but I got a good vibe from him.
