Defense is one thing, but Vietnam and Iraq are not defense, they are imperialism, just like we have done in many other countries in the world, usually without a war first. I think I would die to defend our land, but not to make good on some political vendetta.

Long live the US system of free speech that allows us all to express our opinions. (jane too!. I know she is just out to sell books). By the way, I think Ted Turner is great too, and the Atlanta Braves.
