It's like we (us) Americans DON'T learn! I first served in the Army in that strange period between Korea and the beginnings of Nam. I was in active reserve status (medics) during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Then came the Berlin Wall, and guess what, I was active duty again. I served willingly. Since those times, I've observed mistake after mistake after mistake in U.S. foreign policy and wars. I am EXTREMELY angry and frustrated. I do all that I know how to do. I read. I study. I discuss. I ask questions. I ALWAYS vote. And yet I feel completly powerless. When was the election held that voted the U.S. as "BOSS OF THE WORLD?" I know I didn't sleep through it, as I keep alert. Perhaps it will be through serious and thoughtful discussion groups like this, worldwide through the freedom of the Internet, that will save us from ourselves. I dunno? Bob
