You call your self an American as you say right here: " .....it affects me as an American and as and expatriate."
Now, what are you, an American or an expatriate?
Ok, lets say that you ARE and American. Why are you wanting to fight for fact that you are soooo disappointed because my Presidents written apology wasn’t good enough....how you want MY President to go to Korea get on his knees and beg for forgiveness for a couple deaths. Come on.
A Marine Gunnery Sergeant saved the lives of 2 Japanese kids. One kids parent showed up at the award ceremony because the father of the kid that showed up was to proud to except the fact that an American saved his kids life, and the other kids parents just did show without interview.
You don’t see him begging for attention. I worked on a MedSurg Ward for 13 months, and I took care of over 50 car and motorcycle victims. 35% of those people where either hurt or KILLED because of Japanese drivers. YOU don’t see them begging the Japanese Prime Minister for a face-to-face apology.
Take that and sit on it for a while, there are a lot of things going on in this United States Military then you can ever know. Now next time you have something to say about something being unfair, talk to the source.

Yes, I realize that Bush is against policing the World. That whole "lets police the World and then apologize for it" was something that Gore was running on. I said that countries out there call in America to mediate their problems.
And second, if you must play the definition game, whining is firstly described in the dictionary as a plaintinve, high-pitched, PROTRACTED sound sound, as in pain or COMPLAINT. And that's what this sounds like. One long, drawn out whine.

No offence to anyone who thinks we could just take the world... *chuckles*
1) China and India could pound our military to dust in their own countries...
2) fighting a war on two fronts requires 3 times as much in rescources as it does for oe front... 3 fronts requires 5 times... we don't have the resources, nor will the american people stand for that kind of an action...
