Hi Sam. That may be human nature. When there was another big guy on the block Americans were a lot more cautious about jumping on the "we're bad" bandwagon of wanna be, tough guy cheerleaders. Since the cold war ended it seems the "we can do anything we want" crowd has found a following.

Maybe, however, getting our asses handed to us in our efforts to make Iraq into little America has taught us a lesson. I hope so.

As far as how people like you and I are viewed by the stupid crowd; who cares? We're simply the loyal friends who told the old man he was a fool for thinking he could buy a young wife. The fact that he was a fool can't be truthfully laid on our doorsteps. Ed
