reading this post you sound like John Kerry himself and a little bit of Jane Fonda........
We placed ourselves in the middle of a civil war(Communist North Vietnam against Corrupt South Vietnam) in SouthEast Asia.
you have such compassion for your NVA buddies, have you ever seen what they can do to an entire village of RVN that dont want to become VC...?
It makes Pol Pot and Cambodia look like a walk thru the park.
So your experiences have led you to become a peacenik, maybe a pacifist....Noble, Worthy, Idealistic.
Unfortunately the world does not work that way, and just as unfortunately, we can't just sit by whilst crazies fly our own jetliners into our World Trade Centers.
You are also absolutely dead right that it is the leaders that pull the strings and push the buttons, not the little people......so whadda ya gonna do......cry some more, philosophize some more, intellectualize a little...... lot of places to go.....eh.
the bottom line for all time is to hit him back using a bigger club...sorry but that is the way it works, right or wrong.
case in point you wouldn't be typing on your computer today, here in good ole USA, if your great, great, great,European grandfather hadn't moved here from some other country and then clubbed the crap out of some Indians to get their land and "civilize" the place, over a 100 years of course.
Now the crazies want us all to attend their Mosques and wear Robes and Burkas and all you can say is, "No mas, No mas....
get in the real world will you,protect your right to be a bully....
