Our "tax dollars are at work" throughout the WORLD!!!!!!!, WITHOUT OUR CONSENT! That's no excuse for our sticking our nose into every damn nation's affairs! "The people" (as in "OF, BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE") did NOT sign off on financing an 'EMPIRE', which intrudes anywhere and everywhere in the world! THAT is what's "important"!!

Sure, but you seem to imply that by having journalists inform of us what is happening that we are meddling in their politics. We need to know what is happening because our state department is already meddling in their affairs and wreaking havoc. We need to know what is happening so we can demand that our government allows the Pakistani people the freedom to determine their own affairs.

Wrong! I've never much dabbled in "implication"! I tend to be more 'direct', which is what is sorely needed in our system. My comments leave no question as to what I'm addressing. It should go without saying, that if we kept our noses out of the affairs of SO MANY nations, there would be a corresponding lack of need for reporting on the affairs of other nations. We have way too many problems of our own for such distractions.

Clearly, you tend to be so direct as act in an imaginary vacuum that's emotionally easier for you. Have fun with that, child.

I'm 94 you simple-minded idiot! And if you can't grasp what's in plain English, seek another venue for your idiotic comments.

well then maybe you should take a dementia test. you haven't made a single relevant point here. and "simple english" isn't how I would refer to pointless rambling about nothing at all relevant to the content of this article.

If you find my comments pointless its more likely that you're a victim of arrested development. It's clear you believe in our endless interventions into the affairs of other nations, in the service of our 'empire' OF WHICH THE REPORTING IS BUT ONE FACET! I don't! Clear enough for your limited cranial capacity?? Or do you need yet more space to exercise your silly lalas?

Yes of course ignorance is the solution! Onward, into the darkness where we will find solutions to problems we don't know exist!

If you can't see "problems", right here in River City, you're blind as well as ignorant.

Nobody said there aren't problems here, are you doing okay? are you seeing words on this page that don't exist? do you want me to call someone to get you your meds?
