That's right.......because its very difficult for a standing army to fight with insurgent guerillas. No its easy for a standing army to fight with guerillas, and for a good standing army its often not hard to get the better of the fight. What is hard is to totally eliminate the guerillas. This AM I was watching a video on the Iraq/Iran war. It reasserted my belief that wars are a total waste of life and money, and most times, accomplish very little. That certainly is a good example of a wasteful war that acomplished little but destruction. I can only go by what you say or hint at You haven't been doing a good job of that. Sorry, in the past three years, there has been a dramatic usurping of freedoms. No there has not. The reach of the Patriot Act, as one example, has been extended far beyond what was first intended. OK, go for it, what was first intended and how is it not just an infringment on our freedoms but a "dramatic usurping of freedoms"? Tim
