Ethan I really can't disagree with your point, and it is well taken. Just as children born after the war to German parents I had nothing to do with the genecide that happened to the Indians ( by the way, in addition to being a Scot/Irish transplant I have two cherokee great grandmothers, one of who I had the pleasure to know for a brief while). Although I served when called in the Viet Nam war, I hated it and protested it. Hell, I hate all war. Efforts to influnence American Policy are hard by a single person although I try hard at it. I write my representatives and the President and yes I vote. I feel it a futile effort anymore but I go through the process just the same. I wish all well and of course I respect everyones views here. I also agree with Bseeds last posting.
