Have no problem at all with feeding, clothing, providing footwear, temporary shelter, chewing gum, playing cards, etc. for any human being on earth, and have been apalled that some Iraqi soldiers have been found without shoes. Such a statement might be construed as condoning aiding and abetting an enemy, but I think my point is valid. Even a good knife for our troops is meant for survival against the elements and will rarely I'm sure be used mano a mano. I will stick with my humanitarian stance. Unfortunately, looking at the world in a Petri dish, we could make a third incarnation of the League of Nations, and regional interests will still outweigh global. Ambassadors will still spew doublespeak nonsense. Got to get too many countries out of the 19th Century first, both physically and mentally. Right now see the U.S. as the sheepdog of the world with the little lambies thinking they'll do just fine without the big dog (that brute) as long as they have a treaty and can make a few Euros trading with the wolves and their Machiavellian leadership. Sorry for the rant Doug, I'll go away now. Anybody want to send me love letters send them to
