“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”

How much greater is his reward, if he lay it down for the defense of strangers?

and gratitude is due. Now if only our “leader” would stop dithering, stop holding his finger up to the wind, and rearrange his priorities, we might cease leaving our allies wondering about our commitment.
But it doesn’t look good.

The brits and candians in particular have really pitched in if you look at the numbers. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

And also, as a New Zealander, may i say that often these soldiers are sent at the risk of considerable Political Capital. Surely, then, these Governments and people deserve the compliment of being able to support a steady and comprehensible Policy from our Big Brother in the States.

It cannot end soon enough for me.
