Yes, Jackie, you are so right. I guess military families have a different slant on things than others since they have lived it first hand and deal with it on a daily basis. While Mike and I were not married when he was in the military and he's still proud to say that he served his country, my feelings come from being around my brother-in-law, who for all his faults, still served his country well and I learned from him what is expected from the modern military and learned to just keep my mouth shut about bugging intel guys about their jobs. And all the war haters out there haven't seemed to quite gotten the point that NO ONE likes war, but, because of the human race, it is a necessary evil sometimes to get a point across for the greater good of the world (NO, not just the U.S.) And also, Jackie, you are right, all these other countries who are bashing the war effort will be the first to run to the U.S.'s government for help when dictator's like Saddam or just general nutsos like Osama bin Laden come knocking on their doors (actually knocking the door in) and their butts aren't ready for it. And Sweden, for all of it's wonderfulness, is not free of problems, the biggest of which is Socialism. And like I have said before, if it weren't for the wars in this world and the militaries of democratic societies all this spewing of hate wouldn't be possible.
