Sarcasm has it place but not played on the lives of our men and women who serve this country in the fight against terrorism. Can you imagine if they would secrete an atomic bomb into New York on a container ship? It would kill millions, not to mention, make a radius of 75 miles uninhabitable and collapse our economy. I enjoy his music but his notion of what's funny is totally wacked-out. And his praise by others on this page makes me sick.

Do you even know what this song is about ? it is about when AFGHANISTAN was occupied by RUSSIA. it has nothing to do with TERRORISTS. AND NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU AMERICANS!

Its a message of disapproval from Paxton. And who said anything about Nuclear warfare ? Are you referring to "all clear in Harrisburg"?

[djboyle4]

How cleaver. He should go over there on a peace mission. The first thing they would do is chop off his head and stuff is guitar up his ass.

Sarcasm .. this song is build on the phenomenon we know as sarcasm dear child ...

[mochompy]

Paxton has been, and is still, a genius song writer.  God bless him!

@djboyle4 Cleaver, do mean the Beaver's family name, or are you just stuck on head chopping. Why don't you get afraid of the people who are feeding you your narrow minded bullshit. I f you're worried about our economy collapsing, think about what this ten year excursion into Iraq and Afganistan has done for it. Is your house worth more than before this war. Lotsa people getting rich from this war skeezix, but chances are, you ain't one of them, and neither are the people who are fighting it.

@EatCraps It has a little to do with the Americans. It has to do with the American boycott of the 1980 Olympics.....

@malachy1847 Well?

[Christian121y]

@malachy1847 And can you make my day by providing me the website from which I "copy and paste" all my polemics from?See if you can get back to me on that one.

[Christian121y]

@malachy1847 To try to blame the creation of the Taliban on some group other than the association of people who ACTUALLY were responsible for the founding of the group is ridiculous.And to to try to pretend the Pakistanis were simply incapable of forming these feudalists by themselves without the indirect assistence of American Imperialism is just stunningly naive if not borderline racist and patronizing.

[Christian121y]

@malachy1847 Ku Klux Klan:Well they never would have existed if it weren't for the American Civil War.

Partition of India and Pakistan:If it weren't for WW2 that would have never happened

Partition of "Isreal" from Palestine;Well gee willickers this must of happened just because of WW1

My point is,there IS such a thing as self-determinism.The Pakistani ISI could have chosen NOT to create an army of wild-eyed Deobandi Madrassah students.But you know what.THEY ACTUALLY DID

[Christian121y]

@malachy1847 "The Leaders of the Taliban were 'War Hardened' in that conflict"

So if Operation Cycylone would have never happened you're trying to claim the Talibs would never have been organized?

Lets point out the logical fallacy here by reading your argument back to you by applying the consequences of your logic to other events in history.

Naploean:Well he would never have existed if it weren't for the French Revolution.

[Christian121y]

@malachy1847 If you think Pakistan is a "neo-colony" of any other country besides its own deep state then I PITY YOU for thinking that.

And Christian is MY NAME you fool.

[malachy1847]

@Christian121y I will sign off from this topic as your searing like some 'Drunken Sailor' I garner that your your Profile name. use the word 'Christian' i would suggest you behave like one. so just heal those anger issues you have.... no more Crusing . It's the likes of Pakistan and outher Nation States that are bankrolled for a pastime, so in that regard they are mere Neocolonies of the bigger Powers, one could by an objective analysis of those times see that as clear as day....

[malachy1847]

@Christian121y I take your point that young men came out of Religious schools / Madrassah in Pakistan, Those refugee camps created Political education centres for dissaffected youth displaced by the Soviet Invasion . The Leaders of the Taliban were 'War Hardened' in that conflict, The ikes of Mohammed Omar attended a Madrassah and fought with' The Islamic and National Revolutionary Movement' All im saying this force didn't come out of a Vacuum but the Historical conditions of that time
