George - Glad to hear you are doing better. However, one more episode, and I'm coming over
there and becoming your personal trainer. You will not like that.
Pete - You wrote about the USA supporting Osama and siding with Saddam in the early 80's.
What a surprise you said that. You write so well that it shocks me to see you stealing slogans from
the Anti-War/Anti-American protestors signs. At least you did not use the slogan "war bad, peace good".
As you have mentioned before, the world dynamics changes yearly. Those who were once our allies, can easily
be our enemies tomorrow. Or just the opposite. Just like your Country. 58 years ago we were engaged in a war.
Now, we are friends (I think). Although it is getting harder to see who our allies in Europe are.
And yes, we helped out Saddam in the war against Iran. It was the lesser of two evils at the time.
You will see a movement to remove our troops from Germany within the next year. Our presence there protected
you from becoming Russia. Now that we caused the wall to come down in 1989, it is time to move on. Is this
what Germany wants?
Dave- Can the Lakers beat the Kings tonight? This could be a win that wakes up the sleeping giant.
Steve T. Keep up the frontal attack on Pete, and I will envelope from the flank. This will leave Pete only one option,
surrender and become French.
Feb 5 - Colin Powell will convince the world, and Saddam will take his last crap on the people of Iraq.
Semper Fidelis
