No doubt about that. There are people who have every right to be pissed off at the situation and Iraqi civilians are right at the top of the list but my bitch is more about people who have no concept whatsoever of international relationships and historical alliances. This guy has his current freedom precisely because of the sacrifices made by Americans. Had North Korea been allowed to take South Korea the entire country would be in the same shambles that the North finds itself in now. Instead it's a country that's growing in importance on the world stage with outstanding prospects for the future (as long as Kim Jong doesn't get too much crazier).
