I am jumping in here. I have not read the rest of the discussion nor do I plan on doing so. But I want to add my two cents to this reply. I do not believe this is just a simplistic or 'naive' (as I inferred from your college days comment) world view. I also agree it is wrong. But being wrong does *not* equal being unnecessary. The unfortunate reality of the world as that many wrong things are also necessary and war tends to concentrate these things. Killing is wrong but sometimes necessary. Because something is necessary, we should not gloss over what is wrong about it. I think I've pounded this point as much as I am comfortable with for one random post. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:287799 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
