Hi All, Just got back from out of town. I was in a hurry when I wrote my first email this morning and yes I did mean Civil War (boy is my face red).
More comments below: ----- Original Message ----- > there are many other parts to consider, Terrorism being the top (Slavery > was only part of the issues in the Revolutionary war yet I learned in > school that that was all it was about. Wars are not that simple.). Why terrorism? Is that just something like "comunism" or "evil" that you can tack on something you don't like? (Russ)---- It was terrorism that murdered several innocent American lives, that is why. Note we went after military targets when we retaliated. --------------------- > If Iraq > refuses to comply, then Bush will give him a helping hand. As with many > Americans, he has my support. Nice expression "helping hand" like "bathroom" for "toilet" or so. You could also say "killing hundreds of thousands". (Russ)---- We have given them plenty of oportunities to comply. They chose not to. Also, I was unaware that Iraq had hundreds of thousands of military personel. Thats got to be one grand army. ------------------- The point is not that Saddham is an bad guy - because he is. But he cannot do anything now. (Russ)------ We are makeing sure of that. -------------------- You just cannot go around and point a finger at somebody and kill him. Every country did something wrong and the US is by far not the least among those, but you behave like you are free of guilt. Isn't there something in a book about pointing and throwing and such? (Russ)--------- I think Powell did a good job of presenting our case before the UN. I think I stated from the beginning that our Government was not perfect. Me thinks you are misapplying that statement from "The Book" and besides, it condones the death penalty. ---------------------- Are we allowd to attack you if you attack Iraq without UN support? (Russ)--------- That is up to you. I hope you don't mind if we stick up for our own interests though, like we are doing for terrorism. ----------------------- What really interests me is: Does the american PEOPLE (in percents of the total population please) support war? With UN resolution? Or even without and thus violating UN law themselves... (Russ)------ Yes, seems to me I heard the poll numbers like this (don't quote me though) - 80% with UN approval, 60% without. ------------------------ Because NO population of any country in Europe does. (well I am not totally sure about Britain). What I have read so far is that about 80% of the people in western Europe are against US war on Iraq, about 70% in eastern Europe. In turkey it is something like 93%! (Russ)------- To each his own. ------------------------ Thanks Russ
