George,,, Let us not forget that we are perpetrating the same Hell on the Iraquis--- We bomb them still , almost every day----Never mind all the covert misery that is being delivered all over the planet paid for with our sweat.... Doesn't anybody ever wonder why the people in Africa or any other poverty drenched region show up in news clips driving jeeps , dressed in camouflage fatigues , carrying AK 47's when they can't even afford food.... Where does the money come for for this? Where else, but here.... I think we call it Foreign AID....

America's war and intervention record. 1. Korea: We did not lose but we did not win. Forty six years later we are still spending hundreds of millions of $ a year to protect S. Korea. 2. Vietnam: The U.S. suffered total humiliation and defeat by a ragtag army that lived on a bowl of rice a day and used pieces of old tires for shoes. 3. Beirut: The U.S. Marines were chased out of that hell hole by a lone rag head driving a truck load of explosives. 4. Somalia: The U.S. Army hightailed it out of that rat hole after the animals they were trying to help ambushed them and killed 18 of them. 5. Haiti: The U.S. Army helped to install a new democratic government and now the new government is worse than the old one. The Haitians need to learn how to spell democracy before they can practice it. 6. Iraq: We thought we won that one but we didn't. Saddam is still jerking our chain. He still lives in luxury in his palaces laughing at the U.S. Saddam has made total fools out of the U.S. and the U.N. 7. Kosovo: The U.S. armed forces are doing everything they can to make life as miserable as possible for the civilian population while being very careful not to harm the Serb military. Jim
