Dennis, if anybody was having a senior-moment (or brain-glitch, whatever), it was me. Or maybe it's just my own paradigm about the subject through which I saw the question and thought it can't be that simple, because of COURSE the U.S. is not better for having fought the WBTS, no matter who won it.
Blame it on too little sleep and too many edits. At least that's the excuse I'm using at the moment. lol
Glad life is treating you kindly. That's always good to hear.
Regards,
Penny
