Many nations and their governments torture without even giving it a second thought. The noble idea that there are principles for which we will not compromise, even if it threatens our security, is a relatively novel one if you ask me. It's also a value that I think elevates America to another plain. Or at least, it used too :/ But to call those who view their security as paramount...illegitimate? I can't go along with that. Just because I don't agree with their position, doesn't mean it's completely without logic or merit. -- His gentle means of sculpting souls Took me years to understand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| 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:295976 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
