Lavdumperer,
I am coming out of virtual PPrune posting retirement to say this:
There is more to the Former Yugoslavian situation than most Yanks recognise.
Afghanistan was only a success by the foreign involvment JOINT with the US - British Royal Marines taking a leading role in this is one example.
Who is looking after Afghanistan and the Former Yugoslavia after the US and others have taken action??? Is it me or did the US already pretty much all go home (with the exception of their reservists who still seem to be in the area).
You seem to be very keen on the subject of the US protecting the World - Thanks for the help in the falklands then.
I am not trying to stir things here, but more alert you to the fact that the rest of the educated world does not fall for the US propoganda machine, and in fact you get people like me who are rapidly getting to the decision that the US actually causes more problems in the world than it fixes - some of these intentionally.
Still lets hope there is no war out their, as it will further screw all of our sponsorship chances - as I think for the next few years they will be few and far between.
