| Thanks for fixing my quote, I am still learning how to do things around this web site and that would be one thing that I have yet to figure out, obviously!!! LOL
I wasn't intending to accuse anyone of being cynical...just using one of his quotes, Rubberboots had used one in an earlier post and it was a hyperlink to where it came from so that is where I found that one. I thought that it was true, for myself included. Not as a rule but when we are cynical about something then it would appear at that moment we are lacking, depends on what the subject would be on what one would be lacking, perhaps compassion, perhaps sanity (I think I quite often lack the latter...  ), maybe mercy or forgiveness...although there are those who are cynics as a profession, have run into plenty of those.
No I don't see any comments against the soldiers per se, I have wondered about what is written between the lines...I know that there are many people out there that don't support the reason that we are over there, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are not supporting the troops though...they may be supporting as much as they possibly can, and what one person can do might not be what another person can. I never thought about the British troops and what they must have thought until you all brought that up, but really how would our troops feel if their commander in chief was praising another countries soldiers above his own, that could be very bad for morale. So yes, I agree with you its a good thing that it wasn't true...but on the other hand would it be bad if other countries felt the same way we did about our soldiers...I like that thought Lady Z!!!  _________________ "If you only knew how many things I want to say and don't." ~ Anne of Green Gables It just takes some time, little girl You're in the middle of the ride Everything, everything will be just fine Everything, everything will be all right, all right-"The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World Complaining is good for you as long as you're not complaining to the person you're complaining about. -Lynn Johnston (For Better or Worse) Sometimes the greatest journey is the distance between two people.
