Only one little thing. You speak of war as if it had an entity by itself. That is not so, war is the name we give when two nations set to murder each other. So the terrible thing in this affair was not "war" it was the decision people took to murder civilians, as many as possible, women children and old people. That decision was taken by people and enforced by other people. Maybe the same people than today will say "sick, sick, sick" about some homosexuals getting out of the closet but will be proud of burning babies and children. I don't see that spirit extinguished in the souls of US people (at least those of many who speak loudly in this forum). _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
