RESPONSE: I really hope the LibDems here in the U.K. get a sizeable number elected so that they can use their leverage to get our troops back home and leave the Yanks to their own fate. As I see it, this will eventually be another Vietnam; the Yanks will be given a good kick up their proverbials. Their supporters will have to eat crow. -- Cheers, Gabe Menezes. London, England
