  • Back to the substance of this video.

    Obama's promise to support democratic rule in Pakistan, increase non-military/development aid, and make military aid contingent on stamping out the Taliban are promising. Education is a good step forward in Pakistan, but the nation also needs political stability. The American drones bombing Pakistani border areas are worrisome, because they violate Pakistani sovereignty and have the potential to create more anti-American sentiment.

  • "No, I absolutely don't see or hear what you mean, and I've tried in vain to understand where you're coming from. Don't automatically assume that people know what you're talking about, especially when you're a fan of folly and irrationality."

  • That too. Our friend here probably fits that description as well. Jesus, that man will never grow up.

  • "Being on YouTube doesn't excuse your conduct. And I don't understand your previous question. What did you tell me? Lots of pointless things? "

    See what I mean?
