	Okay.  Current dirt is that Finland has universal male conscription.<br />

	The Finnish system is unjust-- and on a personal level, that's six months I'm not getting back-- but you overlook that and suggest that "universal conscription" in itself is somehow evil? You're veering awfully close to pacifism.<br />

	 I guess you boys like playing with boom-booms, you just don't like to use them to help anyone else out, ever.<br />

	Factually, that's not true. Wikipedia tells me that Finns are involved in peacekeeping operations like e.g. ISAF (hi, Rockadelic), EUFOR Althea, UNMOGIP, EUFOR RD Congo, KFOR, UNMIL, UNTSO, UNMIS, and EUFOR TCHAD/RCA. I find it curious, by the way, that you so readily equate guns with help. <br />

	If you would take a step back, you would see that this is not about the US vs. some country in Europe. This is Western Christian civilization vs. the rest of the world. We're in the same leaky boat, dude.</div></blockquote>

	I know, dude, and I never said otherwise.  In fact I explicitly said I opposed much US military activity.<br />
	<br />
	I was having fun with the Finland stuff.  No harm meant.
