i apologize for my comments yesterday. i found something that seemed appropriate which i wanted to share, but by the time i'd gotten through just a couple of threads here all i had read was how american foreign policy is crummy, and how that there are idiots who go on television and say idiotic things and make "us" all look bad. it just made me mad. i certainly wasn't in the mood anymore to share my little quote.

i know that this isn't an american board. the reason i felt the need to defend myself as an american is because everything i'd read seemed to shed poor light on "us." unfortunately it seems that whenever i say anything around you guys it comes out wrong.

i know you guys are all good people. i didn't _mean_ to say anything to the contrary. i shouldn't have said anything at all...

my apologies

regarding my statement that i didn't think that we'd end up in a military conflict without proper justification, i seem to be wrong, as the planes have already been deployed...
