Wow....from talking about performance gains to debating between countries. Can we say sidetracked? I must say I'm rather ashamed of the comments I've seen made by this armstrkr or whatever his name is. I'm damn glad I grew up in America, with all the rights and privledges that come along with it. Right now though we are the most hated people in the world. My girlfriend is currently in Argentina as an exchange student, when she's in a major city she can't say she's American for fear that great harm will come to her. I support our men and women who are over there in the big sandbox, but I do not support the men who sent them there. I generally try and stay quiet on political topics because I know I don't know all there is to know about what's happening, but I'm sick and tired of all this B.S. american male dominant gorilla chest pounding. We need to find Osama and take care of him. It was never proven, to my knowledge anyway, that was any substantial link between Al-Quieda and Iraq. I think Georgy just wanted to finish what daddy started and Osama gave him a good way to transition. If anything, this war has made the world a more hostile place for Americans, and I think we can expect more terrorist actions now. The religious wackos there already hated us but some ppl there didn't buy there crap about the big bad Americans, I fear all we've done now is prove to those who were undecided that we are the big ugly monster the terrorists tried to show us to be. I appologize for the rant, it's really not my style, but I just couldn't take the bashing of the Canadians and such anymore. Like I said, I am glad I'm an American, but I think this war was, in large part, a big mistake. Thanks for listening.
