Vietnam was a stupid war. You'll get no argument from me about that.

I used to joke that if they ever called up the draft I would go off to Canada or the Caribe, but that was before I saw those two towers come crashing down. I can say with all honesty that I would go and fight if they called me up.

P.S. i am not one of the people that go around harrassing arab-americans. just wanted to make that clear.

I know what you're saying. I have two arab-born friends and have known several others. They are perfectly reasonable people and were just as horrified as everyone else with what happened. If you've seen the pictures of the hijackers you'll see that a lot of them looked liked perfectly well-adjusted citizens, so there's no use stereotyping and ostracizing the traditional-looking Arabs.
