I remembered this guy. 

This was during the time where I had no idea about foreign policy.  You think they let outsider win while the crowd goes USA, USA, USA? 

Now here's something.  I remembered watching the last rocky movie where rocky was a fan of what looks like the taliban.   USA relationship with the Taliban can be seen there if they were indeed the Afghanistan group.  The movie came out before the fall of the Taliban.

Silly me.  Wrong movie I mentioned.  Rambo and not rocky.   :idiot2:
