You mean you _didn't_ protest the Gulf War?
Getting soft in our "comfortable" years, Louis? :-)
Heck, I was in Vermont when it happened--and joined the march on the
Capital that resulted in Vermont formally taking a stand against the Gulf
War--and that was in 40 below zero (wind chill) temperatures! :-(
The Gulf War is as good an example to use as any--it's a GREAT one for
showing how communications breaks down when different cultures try to
communicate: We told the Iraqis that we would respond if they invaded
Kuwait--but the way we did it was NOT Middle-eastern in nature and they read
our position as taking a "public" stand against it but really telling them
we would look the other way!
Have a happy,
Rick
