JK2006	What astonishes me is that so many people are saying "How can this have happened so fast?". Wasn't it obvious - to us observers, let alone to those with information. Simple slogans work. That's why Brexit happened. That's why Covid became a PanicDemic. Give people a simplistic headline and they will be prepared to die for it. Complicated philosophies simply don't work anymore. "Democracy is good"??? No it's not; often it doesn't work. "Autocracy is bad"??? No, not always. If it's benign and the autocrat is decent, it can work. "Communism is bad (or good"??? No, it has elements of both in it. But most people are simply no longer able to consider or accept complex. The vast majority of Afghans (let alone soldiers) were unable to see a simple slogan. "Be prepared to die for the love of an extreme religion" is a nice, handy philosophy requiring obedience, not thought. Remember the Crusades? Remember Northern Ireland? Remember Palestine & Israel?
Green Man	This will never get old.
Green Man	Chris Wallace is angry also and he supported Biden on many occasions. 'Don't underestimate Joe's ability to f-things up' - Obama I didn't like Johnny Carson as a person but I loved his rants on politician's on his show, whether they were from the left or right he didn't give a fuck (Carson used to tease to his fans and viewers, he never said who he voted for in elections). Biden has been in politics for 50 years and has done absolutely NOTHING. Trump is not office so he can't keep using that excuse. So maybe he blame some dude called Corn Pop.

I suppose we could try invading Afghanistan on the basis that The Taleban may harbour Al Queda cells and so put us at increased risk of terrorism...? No UK and USA have done enough carnage. But Bush and Blair need to be put on trail ASAP.
