I will repeat my position that the US is not supposed to be global policeman.
US personnel should be at home with their families and friends.

The US uses more oil, and doesn't have or use as much of its own.

If the army and extremists would like to have at each other only, that would be

As a matter of fact, that could be better than what is currently happening. You
wouldn't be accused of or attacked for meddling, at least.

No, you'll hear about North Korea and SARS. Maybe something about banks and
Koizumi.  Matsui. Maybe Ichiro. Possibly Shinjo. Nomo or Hasegawa if you're
