Grammar errors/discussions are an old way of getting the actual point of discussion to be hidden under a cloud of drivel. Don't do the right's work for them. The occupation is just that, occupation. Whatever US public thinks is irrelevant, and I don't mean this to sound rude, as it should be the Afghan peoples views that count, but surely nobody actually believes the US/UK care a fig for their views? comrades, comrades-come on now.
