    Cosmo, reasonable & well-spoken as usual (even if we disagree often). You are good at taking things for what they are.

    Thanx, Bud.
    I don't like it... I don't want to fail, but I don't like the cost. It's not my ass on the line and there's no way I want to put other people's Kids, Dads, Moms, Brothers and Sisters out there either.
    It would be nice if we could get all the nations of the world to kick in and help... but, I don't blame them for sitting this one out. We're the ones who fucked up... we bought that shit pile... why should we expect anyone else to help us eat it? I mean, if Russia or France got themselves in this mess instead of us... would you or I or any other American be willing to send our soldiers and billions of tax dollars to bail them out for acting like assholes? HELL NO.
    We blew our chance a long time ago when we alienated our NATO Allies with insults brought on by arrogance. Not the road out is trecherous and tough and long... turning around is not an option and we missed a awful lot of exits along the way. We're fucked. I hope we find a way... but, the only realistic way out is going to cost us... and our kids... and their kids.
