I've posted that here numerous times but for some reason I keep reading posts addressed to me insinuating that I support meddling in other country's affairs all the time - oh wait, they are typically addressed as "americans" or "you americans" or "all americans" etc. so maybe they don't mean to address them to me... :o)
