Thanks for that TXMike, I thought as a "civilized" country the US wouldn't go to war, where deathrates will be enormous, just to grab someone elses oil? So I guess it depends what you mean by "civilised"?????? Or is "civilised" just used in the context of sport here?

But your wide of the mark with what I am actually talking about and what other posters are up with.

Its why certain populations choose to participate in the sports of varying degrees of physical contact. It is really an academic exploration into the psyche of nationhood.I'm discussing the 'toughness' of the sport that has evolved not questioning your manhood or ability to play sports of varying 'toughness'.

And goodluck to the forces in the Persian Gulf I'm sure that will be one tough assignment! Like the Dallas Cowboys taking on Vermont elementary school?

P.S. has the oil pipeline been finished yet, from Russia across Afghanistan to the sea port?
