This is the last I will ever post to this list other than Vanagon related
information (unless it is Friday Freedom). I am willing to take the heat if
you feel necessary though pmail me directly. tim@cwo.com
Chris you made one mistake with your statement. Afghanistan did not attack
the USA only a small number of persons. Our president is allowing us to
think it was Afghanistan so he can spend Billions of our tax dollars on a
life style that he learned from his father H.W. He also speaks of peace
though continues to use war as the conduit. We will never achieve peace if
with these methods though it is the simplest method to rid us of the enemy.
The largest damage is our current generations grow to believe that war is a
reasonable method of creating solutions. IMO war only creates war. We would
be better to teach and practice peaceful methods of existence.
So the next time you see or hear a negative joke about Afghanistan take the
time to remember they are not the ones that attacked our country though only
maybe 5000 persons without a country. The first Afghanistan, NON-bin laden,
follower that died because of our attacks represents every person that died
due to the WTC attack.
I am very much an American that fought in Vietnam though I am an American
that believes in a peaceful existence. An existence that apparently does not
agree with the defense of American freedom.
Think of your neighbor (foreign or local) as your equal. This is the first
step towards peace. Enough said.
