Rioters in London Need Flag and Advanced Arms for Credibility

What's the difference between Muslims rioting in London and the British invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan? The Brits had a flag and advanced arms which by definition made their barbarity a state sponsored legal action enforced by thoughtful lethal tools . The Muslim rioters have no flag and rely on vandalism and crude-pick up weapons.

Oh there's one more big difference. The British armed forces did more damage and killed more people.

Lessons From Afghanistan

The U.S. has been bombing and losing in Afghanistan since 2002. The terrain and social structure of that country is too much for ham-fisted invaders. The Afghanis can arguably be called a pure libertarian- modeled society. They have no central government and the tribal structure is self reliant and is bound together for mutual self defense on a modular scheme. The country is the low cost example of an efficient society. Afghanistan is known as the "graveyard of empires". To its credit it has subdued the likes of Alexander The Great, Ghengis Khan, the British Empire, the Soviet Union and now is having its way with NATO and U.S. forces.

If America is to survive it will have to become more like Afghanistan .
