It seems USA politicians like to arrange their own foreign affairs, with that woman in Argentina, and all over the place: <I don't know why you aren't in charge of foreign affairs> Also, my prices are too low. They prefer to pay $millions and don't feel satisfied with $10 a day. They think that if a toilet seat costs the army less than $1,000 it must lack quality. Plus, I'm not one for embezzlement - and they don't like that because it would mess up the normal payment systems to buddies, back-handers, under the table etc. Plus, it's a lot of fun ranting here, but to make actual decisions involving the lives of actual people would be very daunting. It seems presumptuous to want to decide to send millions of people into armed conflict. I can understand King George II resorting to prayer - even as an atheist, I might find that an attractive idea if tasked with deciding whether to invade Iran enroute to Afghanistan. Mqurice
