Let me put it this way: I spent a number of years living in Europe, and Asia, because I so strongly disagreed with the things my govenrment was doing. I'm very near to doing the same thing again. I don't agree with what they are doing. I don't agree with the war. I feel that there are far greater threats to the world than Iraq, and issues of far greater importance within the US that need to be addressed, and our president is refusing to address them. That does not however defer my support for my country. It also does not make me forget who my friends are. Eric, none of this is targeted at you. I doubt that you, or I could sway the direction of things. I also doubt that my support (or lack of) for MDK would impact you, the person. My statement is targeted at Mandrakesoft. They want "my" support. The US needs Frances support. Pressure from one, can effect the other. Ric
