Felix, I may not be making myself clear. How many of those years was spent in defence of the nation? Spreading our beliefs about how wonderful democracy is, is not what our soldiers are for, nor are they babysitters to other nations. I don't want to see one soldier killed because we are helping other countries "make the right decisions". If there is clear and present danger then there is a need for the wonderful people who defend our nation. In my lifetime there has not been one case of that. Peaceful solutions are so much harder than violent ones. This business in Iraq was rushed into and people are dying for no other reason than to say our way is the right way. I'm sorry I don't believe we were patient enough. Yes I have great deal of respect for anyone who can solve any problem peacfully, I also respect and feel great empathy for the soldiers and families who protect this nation.
