Jack .... bye-bye isn't 'final' and it isn't as crude as some other retorts found around here in the MudCat ... I also can't see anything here in this thread that I should apologize for in regards to my behaviour.

Regardless .. letting go of all this petty bickering ... You are correct one certainly does have their right in critizising where their tax $$ are going. I must say I'd be very furious living in the U.S. having my taxes go towards the military might of the Bush regime ... and in being used to manipulate countries (including my own) around the world.
