I don't, I just took the opportunity of using the Off Topic section.

I had my thoughts about the Iraqi Freedom operation as well, but the reason I personally didn't start such a thread was not to hurt the feelings of the many American contributors to the forum. Such a thread would certainly have been more explosive than this one, judging by the activity. It is interesting who is reacting though.

In some ways I find Afghanistan a much more interesting topic, but it might even be more explosive than an Iraqi discussion.

But Kari, feel free to discuss off topic subjects in this sub-forum, as long as they are not offensive or commercial in nature (and have some connection to the spirit of the forum.

I do value the counter points given and I thank all of you for keeping it more or less civil and constructive up to this point. Unfortunately I am both host and participant (but I like to participate every now and then).
