What is it that you are implying, Marc? Are you saying that the US supports those countries in order to prop up the governments there so that they won't collapse into fundamentalist Islamic states? If so, then wouldn't there be a better way to do things than build up their militaries? Wouldn't it make much more sense to put those billions of dollars into schools that teach reading, writing and arithmetic? Oh, and it wouldn't hurt the cause if they used some money in an advertising campaign to show what a nice job they were doing in building schools and hospitals. Don't Egypt and Pakistan already have a huge enough army without US support? ========= Mark Gregson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========= -- __________________________________________________________ Download the FREE Opera browser at www.opera.com/download/ Free OperaMail at http://www.operamail.com/ Powered by Outblaze ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [email protected] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
