One thing that struck me is that... how would we feel if that kind of stuff were happening here?  I can relate to the guys on the side of the road by the truck, trying to stay very very small.

Isn't that, more or less, the American Revolutionary War?

In a perfect world, we could avoid all wars, period. Unfortunately, we don't live in that perfect world.

The best option open to us is to maintain the capability and will to fight these wars on their soil and in their streets .... not ours.]]> 2009-04-02T12:38:37Z 2009-04-02T12:38:37Z tag:www.thedonovan.com,2009://1.10583-comment:86618 Comment from JImbo on 2009-04-01 JImbo http://jimspolice.multiply.com Thanks.
