Sparhawk,

Just to clarify that if a military force were invading this nation, I would not pack my bags and run off.

But I don't believe in fighting abroad in situations that give rise to delegitimation and destablization of my nation. While I agree with you that freedom is not free, I believe that neither can it be given.
