Larry sacrificially invoked Godwin's Law, I suggest moving on.  This
type of discussion is unproductive and stops being "fun" _really_ fast.

We've been trying for 4 years.  For some odd reason, they seem to prefer
their *own* culture and wish we'd quit trying to force ours on them.

But we're a stupid stubborn country, and can't realize that the fact
that some 76% of the people there want us to leave, and that multiple
IEDs are exploding every day, might be a hint that we should pack up and
go home.

Gotta admit - the only thing that's worse than having a culture forced
on you is having it forced on you by a stupid country.

And you're not allowed to have a double standard - if you think we
should be forcing our culture on them, then you really have no moral or
ethical grounds to complain if they declare a jihad and do exactly the
same thing to us.

They "want" them there because we made them an offer they couldn't
refuse, in many cases.
