Perhaps more in the eyes of the Americans? kHz1000 - 09/12/2013 11:10:10 PM 858 Views
In this context American opinion is the important one, since it is US policy under discussion Isaac - 09/12/2013 11:41:07 PM 873 Views

Screw that. He's not obligated to martyr himself. beetnemesis - 11/12/2013 06:23:43 PM 818 Views
