Tendai, since you are obviously going to focus only on this one argument and refuse to see things in any other light except for yours, I will go ahead and end my part here. I'm glad you had fun. I'm glad that you find such great pleasure in beating this dead horse indefinitely.
Just because you have such a vast knowledge of other cultures you can't sit on your throne and look down on everyone that doesn't. My participation in this thread started out defending the involvement of the United States in Iraq. All this silliness about Bush never leaving the country wasn't my idea, but since it has pretty much derailed the thread I will let you run with it.
have a good one...
