No offense, but I'd take the SAS over the Seals any day.

You may bitch about us now, but it wasn't too long ago (on more than one occasion) that the dirty work needed to be done and we did it without question, regardless of the geographic location or political persuasion of those we were helping. Who knows what the future holds. You may need us again and I really think that you don't want to look back at this and wish you hadn't done this--by then, it would be too late.

I don't think there is one among us who doesn't appreciate and isn't forever indebted to those Americans who gave their lives to preserve the western way of life or free oppressed peoples the world over, but it would be wrong to dismiss the capability of other countries to get their own "dirty work" done. I also don't think the ICC would, or indeed could, cripple the United States ability to respond effectively when such "dirty work" needs to be done, as it's simply not in the world's best interests. Perhaps a little more credit needs to go to those living outside your own borders, some of us have brains you know.
