The same comments about room-to-room fighting were made about the action in 1991 and that never came to fruition. I'm guessing that some actions have already started or will start before the 48 hours has elapsed. Also, I want to thank whoever said this: >>However now that we are there, now that >>the decision has been made, we need to stop debating this as a country and >>support our troops. Enough of us (myself included) on this list are veterans and know the definite need for support from home. Pray if you do that, send energies if you do that, but whatever you do, show those abroad your support. I'm going to be talking to a few teacher friends of mine about having their classes do an Any Soldier letter writing campaign. That's where kids write a letter to a soldier and they get sent in bulk. They're placed where the serviceperson can get to them, and if they want to reply they can. Until Later!
