Points well taken, and I agree that America is just a sneaky and under-handed, but that's the government. I know they represent us, and other nations judge us by them, but the American people are not well represented by our elected leaders.

All this pussy footing and mewing about political solutions is a classic example, and the Japs can attest to this. They judged the American will by our four flushing politicos. An oddity in our case.

They found out the hard way that the average American is a tough and resilient, an enemy you don't want to piss off.

Unfortunately, our history is a litany of this cyclic bullcrap....the pencil pushers start our wars, and the citizen soldier bails us out....again.

What's a guy gonna do?
