kat, they have not got over the election in florida. -----Original Message----- From: Kat To: [log in to unmask] Sent: 4/5/2003 8:07 AM Subject: Re: Important: Letters on the future of Iraq I'm not all that pro-Bush but I must say, I'm wondering why you seem=20 to be so ready to believe anything negative about him. It's as if=20 you (and several other people I know) aren't ready to give him room=20 to do his job, which is to protect this country, and it's had to be a=20 priority since 9/11. I do have my doubts about the link between=20 Saddam and Bin Laden, but I'd say getting rid of the sadistic=20 dictator and his two death-squad sons are not a bad thing, given=20 their history of terror. I'm not sure if we really need to see Saddam as a threat to the US,=20 but now that we're over there and it's a done deal, I'm supporting=20 us. Remember that Pat Conroy said, "I support America, even when=20 she's wrong." I was horrified to hear of the injuries the rescued POW sustained;=20 it's as if she'd been severely beaten and several bones broken in the=20 process. I give full kudos to the Iraqi lawyer who risked his life=20 and his family's to save her. I'd say the people going to Iraq as voluntary human shields are=20 wearing rose-coloured glasses as to chances of survival. Saddam=20 won't hestitate to use them and the coalition certainly isn't going=20 to let them get in the way of achieving their goal of capturing=20 Baghdad. I'm sure by ignoring orders for US and UK ciivilians to=20 stay out of Iraq, they've burned their bridges. I sympathise with=20 the protestors but think they're being rather stupid. The most=20 effective way to protest is at the ballot box. Kat On Friday 04 April 2003 11:09 pm, you wrote: > My cousin says the us censorship is worse than the Chinese > censorship right now. > > M.
