Re: In defence of NATO in Afghanistan (none / 0)

Oh, and define "the West" for the purposes of this discussion. Who's in, who's not?

Re: WEST/In defence of NATO in Afghanistan (none / 0)

For purposes of this discussion, the West will be defined basically as Western Europe, the North American continent and by influence, will include Australia and New Zealand. What's your definition?

The West, (4.00 / 2)

as used in the media nowadays, includes only English-speaking millionaires. The rest of what you call the West is made to believe that it is part of it, but is quite treated as it if were.
