There is only one comparison that can be done between Vietnam and Afghanistan. It is the fact that the Americans waged a war in both countries that were imposable to win. Both countries had been at war with other countries forces before and had defeated them, or at least brought them to their knees.

The wika leaks have exposed nothing that was no in the minds of the ordinary people on the street, and I would also like to point out that it is mostly hear say.

Be careful who you are calling hypocrites as it is the Americans that are coming out of this far worse than any other country. It is Americas Diplomatic relations that are being hurt by the fall out. It will be America that won’t be privy to informal information from Middle East countries. I read a article the other day where a someone was asking why does every country pick faults in America. He should have been asking why do we keep getting ourselves in the shit up to our necks.

No not quite, he never had to hack; he had access to the information legally along with the other three million Americans. I think the whole of the security services had left their computers open, or it could have been your next door neighbour, who knows? But at the end of the day don’t blame Wika Leaks for American security services complacency.

Let’s get something straight, he has been released from his British Prison yesterday on £250.000 surety. It was not the British that imprisoned him because we have nothing to hold him for. He was imprisoned because of an international warrant out for him, and he was not perused by the British police. He surrendered himself to them of his own accord. Don’t think for one minute that this is a rant at the American people or their country, it is the way the rest of the world and I see the way things are.
