A-train: You act like the US involvment in other nations and conflicts over the last 100 years was some sort of immoral thing. It is not. It was how world politics were played. We happened to play it better than most last century. Now however, that way of thinking and way of doing world business has changed. We dont operate that way anymore, or should I say to a smaller extent. The US has done some shady things int he past..just like every other nation. I make no apologies for them, and I enjoy the fruits of our efforts. So do you. So before you get too magnanimous about it, it's those very decisions and actions that are allowing us to whine to each other over the internet :)
