Re: Bombing Afghanistan back to the Stone Age (4.00 / 6)
As the US goes increasingly insane, I believe NATO will be strained to the breaking point. My favourite historical analogy is the Delian League.

The thing is, NATO is the only remaining international organisation that the US contributed to set up and that the Bushistas haven't tried to undermine. Whether by design or by chance they are completely destroying the international system.

We have met the enemy, and he is us — Pogo
