Nick,
Sometimes I forget how young many of you on the page are. I grew up
during the Vietman war. I remember seeing the killed and captured
stats on the news every night. I remember sitting in front of the tv
in shock when 'papa bush' started the gulf war. Now I am watching war
again. My eldest nephew will be 18 soon. the next is a year younger. I
wonder what my 2 boys will grow up remembering, will they have to
watch the body counts?
Yes, it all seems hopeless sometimes. But I remember that all those
things passed and the world went on. As much as some people want to
nuke Afganistan most of us do not. If this does come to a conventional
war, which the powers that be say it will not be, it will be most of
the world against a few.

As to 'Fouledwell', even the fanatical chritians I have talked to
think he was way off! So when is that lighting bolt going to hit him?

To quote one of the quaint (read : gack!) sayings of my youth: keep
on keeping on!
j.
: Thanks for that.
: I needed it.
: I know i shouldn't be so pesemistic, but this is the first war that
: will stick in my memory, since i don't remember the gulf war. And i
: don't like war at all. So i am not very happy about all this,
: obviously. I wanted my life to be war-free, but i guess that was
: imposible anyway, since conflict is a constant in modern society,
and
: i just have to accept that.
: Well that Reverend Falwell really steams my clams! Blaming it on
gays
: and lesbians! What a jerk and a half! That is about the most
: nonsensical position i have heard on the issue! Grrr....
: ~Nick, who's morning miso is helping him calm down now...
