Post #80,792 by Silverlock 2/10/03 9:51:51 PM Reply	I can't think of an exclamatory strong enough You see...we venture forth, offer assistance, establish allies...and then every once in a while we may find ourselves surprised...some of our aid will be used against us (emphasis added) This is irony, right?

Post #80,809 by bepatient 2/10/03 10:57:44 PM Reply	It is borne out in history... ...that in many cases our assistance has been used against us later. Japan is another example. Point being...do we stop offering aid and support...or do we continue offering aid and support...knowing that every once in a while its gonna jump up and bite us in the ass. Close the borders or continue to be an interested, active world citizen? There really isn't a whole lot of middle ground in this choice. Oh sure...we all have our "causes"...and we can't be all things to everyone..which means some peoples "causes" are left wanting...but we as a country are either out there..or we're not. If you go hunting for "irony"...you will find it often. This is not a blanket absolution for some of the stupid shit that we've done...just the either/or that is presented...we do or we don't.
