Laz,

I am here discussing various topics..............not writing an essay for an English class..................keep your posts to a single topic and it will be easier to answer.......................possibly you didn't understand my answer.

By the way...........I was not happy about the war in the Balkans. My nephew was in the Navy and doing Nato maneuvers in the Adriatic sea when our pilot was downed and lost for two weeks. He was on an aircraft carrier as a gunner in a helicopter. He waited on his ship as the team rescued the pilot and brought him back to his ship. His helicopter and many others were waiting on the ship with specific orders to go in and attack should the main rescue team not return by a certain time.THere was under two minutes left when they spotted the rescue team and aborted the attack..............we were within two minutes from being at war. If you didn't have a family member in that operation you would not have any knowledge of what happened.
It wasn't reported in the media. I only found out about it some time later.

I show the troops I appreciate them by trying to keep them out of harms way. Sending children off to war is not glorious....................and dying or getting maimed isn't fun.

From what I have heard there are Europeans boycotting US goods.

I make a pint of buying French PerrierH20 and wines.
