    Actually the US has military bases in nearly every country it has invaded. I'm sure there are a few places entered and then abandoned but for the most part the US has a military presents in all.

    cheers

    We are not there as occupiers against the will of the majority. We are there as protectors of freedom. They would cry if we left.

    well this is breaking down fast

    ok kids everyone go stand in a corner for a day and think about what you've done

    I'll be back to encourage a round of apologizes in the morning

    and no drinking for any of you until you can shake hands and play nice

    Jeff must be laughing his *** off at this point

    how about some climate change news

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11841368

    and just for the sake of neutrality ( obviously I'm a very neutral person :D ) I even quoted an articles with a bit by our esteemed Tobacco industry shill, Christy, now stumping for the oil and gas industry. Thus proving economic times are tough, sometimes you just have to swallow your academic integrity and go where the money is eh.

    I'm not trying to make a contest of it; I was pointing out that you're putting entirely too much emphasis on your ancestry. You're carrying on like it gives you some sort of special insight and knowledge, and a right to speak of history that the rest of us don't have. The fact is that you aren't the only one with Indian blood, you aren't the only one who reads history (I was doing it before you were born), and you don't need to work so hard at being an Indian.

    OK, you're an Indian. Now get on with your life.... :)

    And as far as Mexico City goes, I'm not particularly upset because a bunch of Spanish thugs took over from a bunch of Aztec thugs.

    Put a sock in it, mas. Words have different meanings in different times and places. And I don't know anyone around here who's 'deeply offended' by being called an American Indian.

    As a matter of fact, the Morongo Reservation is about thirty miles from my house. If you go to their website, the very first sentence is, 'Welcome to the Sovereign Nation of the Morongo Band of Mission Indians.'

    The Soboba tribe's website is copyrighted by the 'Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians;' they're about fifteen miles from my home.

    About thirty miles the other direction is the Pechanga Reservation. On their website, they refer to themselves as 'the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians.'

    In other words, none of the Indian tribes around here are 'offended' by being called Indians; they proudly use the term themselves.
