Freightdawg - "But the men who fought them for me so I could sit at this computer and not have to worry about Hitler, or Stalin, or Hussein, or bin Laden, are my heroes. "

I doubt if these men died so you could sit at your computer and not have to worry. In fact, the freedom you value so dearly is not so obvious to the international community. You may believe it, but others think you are brainwashed into believing it.

If you do value it, you must be constantly vigilant in your homeland. Those guys dying overseas are dying for multinational corporations, not for you. Don't kid yourself, you cannot afford to be so appathetic. If you see oppression happening anywhere around you, speak out! Fight it! Don't expect others to do it for you.

This kind of nostalgia disgusts me. Yeh right! Never again? I doubt it.
