But if the people are dying, and the person that started the war is just getting richer and richer, then its a different story. <br>Pres. Bush should have been there on the front line the first day of war. Like a cowered, he went after the war for a few hours and they made a big deal out of it on every channel on TV. And this is the same guy who didn't even finish the army in a peacefull time cause he was to much of a [censored].<br>If I am the president of any country and I send young innocent kids to die, I am going to be there with them on the front line no matter how dangerous it is. My life is not worth more than that kids life I sent of to the front line! <p><hr></blockquote><p><br><br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

I sure thank all, specially Steve, Mat, Max, and Sross for your replies. They were most helpfull to prove my point in this forum to the non-americans about how a TYPICAL american thinks. (ever watch king of the hill?)<br>I have lived in 4 countries and seen about 10. I have been through a civil war in Romania and I know what it means to have bullets flying in front of your window while they show comedy shows about it on American TV.<br>Thanks again guys. This will be a good laugh for us here "Pot head Canadians" on one of our "smoking nites". <br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

Clue in, pal. I am not an American. And your broad dissing of the Americans in here is equally shallow, if not contemptuously lazy-minded. You're just high on yourself. It doesn't mean jack that you lived in Romania - the very fact that you need to brag about it, as if thereby establishing your impeccable credentials, tells me that you have issues about who you are and where you stand in the world. Outside of my own country's borders, I have visited only Mexico and the States - am I to take it that I am significantly less worldly or aware than you? Poppycock, balderdash and piffle up your yin-yang!<br><br>(:->D)<br><br>I mean, come on. If you have, as you proudly profess, no allegiance to any particular nation, why on earth would you expect anyone to identify with you and nod their heads in agreement regarding your expressed views - particularly the view that notions of nationhood should be disposed of the minute they cause one discomfort? What, we should all just follow your example and pack up, leave our respective countries behind because they've somehow betrayed our preconceived idea of what they stand for, represent? Explain yourself, if you care to...<br><br>max

I keep my options opened and will not support stupid behavior from a country no matter how much I like it.<br><br>Wow! Milk just came out my nose!
