Well…I really like the way the U.S “contributed” to this world by spreading its influence through the invasion and dropping of bombs on other sovreign nations, and it’s soldiers torture and get prisoners to post naked for them to take polaroids. So I think its laughable to say that the U.S is doing something good for this world, by dropping bombs they’re not bringing peace but instead create more panic and suffering for the country that it had invaded. The U.S may be a superpower but its nothing more then a bunch of cowards, only fight countries they know they could beat.

Really? but it seems that the election was rigged in Karzai’s favour, and I don’t think the U.S would help anyone unless it gets something in return. Unlike Iraq, the Afghans doesn’t have any oil or other valuable stuff to offer, so a puppet government in Kabul alone would serve the interest of the the U.S.
Unfortunately the people of this country have been blinded by Western currency, and thus have turned to a different direction and let themselves been exploited morally. 🙁

Anyway, the SyAAF should be much more open about its pictures. I don’t expect them to show their most important assets, but seriously, MiG-2-1/3/5/9s are nothing new and are known to the west. If anything it might create some kind of deterrence.

Damn straight, but the Syrians doesn’t seem to have much in the way of showing off.
