I don't want to insult you but you seem to have trouble with pretty basic concepts Netball, John. Returning whatever comes from the other side may work well in tennis games but you have to come up with your own arguments and ideas from time to time to win. Or when that seems too hard, copy smarter people's creative thoughts and paste them all over our board. Ted has developed some expertise here but you are not far behind in this department :) Taro

I "whine" about the leaders that send them, not the soldiers. But, correct me if I'm wrong, it's not the leaders that you object to, but the rationale for the mission. You don't believe American soldiers should be used to liberate a foreign population from a despotic ruler. Correct, or no? American soldiers should not be used to remove the Burmese generals that denied the Burmese people their right to governance by the Burmese politicians that won the democratic election in Burma 10 years ago. American soldiers should not be used to remove Mr. Kim's regime from North Korea, despite the fact that he has made life miserable for the North Korean population. American soldiers should not be used to remove Mr. Castro from power, despite the fact he was not chosen to lead by the Cuban people and has turned a once normal country into one that thousands of Cubans are forced to flee annually and risk their lives on cheap boats in an effort to find a better life. Using American military force when Americans are not under attack is just wrong, in your "always correct" approach.
