Sure.

Still, the idea applies to 'all' countries in the ME, epecially countries where the majority of the people are Muslim.

Yep. Why bother spending time educating someone whose ignorant about the region? I'd have to spend hours teaching you fundamentals, and I don't have the time to teach you.
In other words, the evidence doesn't exist.

Moving along...

I think for you to believe you know 'what Afghanis think' is remarkably arrogant and presumptuous of you. They're not like you. They don't see the world like you do. One day you'll figure out that other points of view exist despite your own, and they're no less valid.
But its okay for 'you' to believe you know what the Afghanis know? Two way street if you put it that way.

Many probably do. Are you saying that none do? Hmm? You seem good at putting my views to the extreme, how about yours? No 'Arabs' believe NATO is a Christian-oriented occupation force? None? Period? I'm saying 'some', where you seem to be saying 'all.
You said many view the NATO led force as a Christian occupation army. Provide evidence of that, NOT based on your assumptions either.

Until then, your point is moot.

Ok, what rules are holding us back? What changes would you make?
I never said they should change the rules. I'm saying we are held back, and frankly, I don't know what 'else' we could do in order to be more sucessful.

Just wondering out loud here...does the Geneva Convention 'ever' protect Canadian, American, British...or any of the other troops serving in the ME?

Lol, hilarious! Dance Azure, dance! Don't you have a Social Studies 20 class to be off to?
Well since you can't admit your mistake, I guess we'll just move on.
