Sorry. ============================================== Brian, heh, heh...you took my question the wrong way, but it may be my fault in not presenting the question well.
Also, I'm intrigued with the terms 'legal war' and 'illegal war'. Oxymoron for one and double redundancy for the other? It can make for much discussion. Can I properly assume that if a person who looks at the two engagements (Iraq and Afghanistan) as 'illegal'...can also publically announce that the Baath Party and the National Taliban (Taleban) Party should be reinstated in their respective countries as leaders? Or, would that be too hard to swallow? Let's call for a UN resolution to start the ball rolling. I guess the first 'order' of the day (pun not intended) is to have Sadam released from jail and give him back his presidency. That would be the decent thing to do, don't you think? ;~) Ron B. PS- With this, I'll disengage and disappear into the sugar cane field, only to reappear when I have something to discuss about biofuels. 8~) _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/
