[Downthestretch55]

Though many will disagree with Gorbachev's statements, I found them to be of interest.

Not much to disagree with. There's no way to "win" this thing, we can only lose worse with each day.

Spyder,
Thanks for taking the time to read his words. I don't disagree with him either, that's why I put it up.

I heard on one of the talk shows last night:

"You can win a political war, but you can't win a religious war"

They were talking about the problem in Palestine on how it has gone from political based differences to religious and it also relates to Iraqi right now!

We can't win...lets formulate a plan to get the heck out!

Mikhail Gorbachev served as the leader of the former Soviet Union from 1985 until its collapse in 1991.

Not exactly the guy we need advice from

As Paul Harvey says:

And now the REST of the story:

He was the last leader of the Soviet Union, serving from 1985 until its collapse in 1991. His attempts at reform helped end the Cold War, and also ended the political supremacy of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and dissolved the Soviet Union. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990.


Our boy GB2 (whom I voted for) is talking tough again to Russian leaders, has caused a huge split within the Republican Party and WILL NEVER win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Cannon,
Did you read the article? If so, what exactly do you disagree with?

Religion as it relates to the Middle East and radical Islam is just a political party in sheep's clothes
