Dream on. I said I wouldn't diss the people who *fought* in the wars. I
never said anything about the wars themselves. Wars are stupid, evil,
horrible things: as someone (can't remember who) said, "You can no more
win a war than you can win an earthquake." *All* wars are mistakes.
Sometimes they're the best mistakes that can be made, but they're
mistakes all the same.
Besides, why should I apologize? I'm having fun. And from what I can
tell, so is the rest of the list.
Come on, JDG. You're not winning *that* easily. And I still haven't heard
an apology from *you* for being an arrogant American like me.
