Only problem is in this game the pitcher keeps pitch'n strikes even if the batter hasn't picked up his batt and entered the batters box. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And I was so resisting the urge to make comments about how this is the kind of thing troops should be doing instead of invading Iraq [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Don't worry about that Sham, (in the words of the rightwing religious "You and I can sitdown and have comunion on this one".
) I believe this is the exact type of reason we should send troops, I supported sending troops to Iraq because of the torture and other abuses going on there. I said all along SoDamn Insane needed his rear end kicked, no matter what the excuse was, that was OK by me as long as he got his rear end kicked. I support sending troops to each and every country where they are needed, to kickout some 2 bit thug dictator or corupt gov't. I have no problem nation building to free people from tyranny or save people from dying. I do have a problem with nation building for nation building's sake, or tak'n the Lion's share of risk when others are able to do more but don't. That's the problem I had with Kosovo, the western European countries no longer had to worry about the big bear to their east, or shooting war amoung themselves. They more then had to military forces to take out piece of Horse manure Mal-oso-low-vich by themselves. I didn't see the need for the USA to be the single largest contributor, but I'm not paid the big bucks or elected to make those kinds of choices.
