Why doesn't Obama just take control of the Pakistani nukes and let
the Afghani's and the Pakistani's just kill each other off, and let 10's of thousands of American soldiers just come home?

I'm serious. Why should one good American life be lost to those idiots? Take their nukes away, take their air power away, let them kill each other off, push their Poppy sales but sell heroin or other stuff legally in all rich nations of the world, just let those folks kill each other off in the name of some religious ambitions.

America should join most of the advanced European nations and just give up on that part of humanity, they haven't got a chance to make a difference if they have no nukes, no cell phones, no way to export their terrorism.

America has lost enough folks trying to bring western civilization to that part of the world.

Shut them off, shut their leaders off, see how long this place can survive without US intervention.

To the Pakistani's and others from that area now here.........there's a time to accept that the ship is going down, and that you were lucky to be among the survivors. Move on!

5. I don't know
I think Pakistan might object to us taking their nuclear weapons when their sworn enemy across the border still has them. Should we send special forces into India as well?

And Pakistan has a mutual defense pact with China. Uh-oh.

11. Well I'm sure taking China's Nukes would be no problem either
I mean what a team of about 10 Seals to get about 120 Nukes spread across a nation with 1 billion people.

Piece of cake.

6. Gee - let's take NK's, Iran's, .....
This is such an easy solution - of course, the countries will happily agree. You are clearly not thinking this out! PS - They have cell phones or are we taking those too.

12. Nothing at all, except maybe WWIII.
Maybe it's just me, but this just doesn't seem like a very good idea.

14. Even the Pakistanis can decide they need to protect their precious bodily fluids...
Nukes, political instability, batshit religious nuts? Nah, that ain't a volatile combination...

15. As much as your sentiment is appreciated
Edited on Tue Oct-06-09 10:20 PM by nadinbrzezinski
You are aware that it is NOT just US troops there... but Italians (among others)... they held a state funeral for ten of them last week.

You heard of NATO?

Look up Article 5.
