Q: What would you prefer, 33 years in Somalia or 33 years in an American prison?

As much as I'm prison averse, I think I'd go for three hots and a cot. Hard to say though.

I'm all for the plank or the Russian solution.

Meanwhile the reason why Americans had so many more friends throughout the world. And even why so many Americans survived in WWII. We do not do what the Russian did.

Except when America popularity dropped to an all time low. When Americans routinely kidnapped (extraordinary rendition), imprisioned, and tortured innocent people. And extremists even in the Cellar said that was good (Hitler had an ashen smile).

Good point, but like qadaffi, can we still bank on 40 year old good will?

Let's not forget why Kaddafi told Americans about Khan and his program to spread nuclear proliferation (successfully) over the world - for profit. Nobody knew about it until Kaddafi decided he needed a more honest and predictable response from Americans.

And, BTW, let’s not forget a nation that is probably the greatest threat to America. More than Iran or N Korea. Pakistan. But only if viewing from a long term perspective.

So why was Pakistan not listed in the Axis of Evil? For the same reason why torture, extraordinary rendition, and prisons with innocent people was also endorsed and encouraged. Their poker hand was dealt from a deck of emotions that also advocated lynch mobs and "string up the nigger".
