Well said, John. Regarding your point about it being awfully patchwork here in the US, of course you're right because we're lucky enough to live in democracies. Somebody once said democracy is the worst form of government ever invented except for everything else. Someone else said 95% of everything is crap including people and the only thing that makes the world go around is everybody has a different idea about that remaining 5%...
I liked General McChrystal's comment on the news yesterday about a meeting he had with some tribal elders in Afghanistan where they were all basically screaming at each other and he said with a little shrug "Yelling is ok, they're not shooting".
