State's Rights and free trade are subjugated during wartime -- and
always have been. Don't worry -- they'll be back again, after this one is over. Ever the optimist. How will we know when this "war" is over? When some future president playing boy soldier tells us it is? Perhaps the ketchup king has a "secret plan" to win the hearts and minds of the people who are trying to kill us...? (I keep waiting to hear what that plan is, but, alas, all Mr. Kerry seems to do is mention "bringing the international community" into the conflict -- and then he changes the subject back to his war record...) If I were him, I'd let Edwards unleash the product liability lawyers onto the newly freed (and unsuspecting) public in Iraq. That would bring the terrorists to their knees in a matter of months! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

newly freed public in Iraq If your world has a freed public in Iraq, it is certainly very different from mine. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

different from mine. Don't read the papers much, eh? There's this thing called "democracy" growing over there. Give it time -- it might catch. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Jay,
There's this thing called "democracy" growing over there. Give it time -- it might catch. Oh yeah, I remember reading about it. A place called Abu Graib seems to be a true stronghold of democracy in Iraq. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Oh yeah, I remember reading about it. A place called Abu Graib seems to be
a true stronghold of democracy in Iraq. What drivel. Do you judge California's democratic "progress" by what happened to Rodney King? In a country of 25 million people, and an Army of 150,000, stupid stuff happens. Abu Graib was an anomaly, a bump in the road to democratic rule, and the perps are going to jail. Which is more than you can say was happening in that same prison under Sadaam's rule. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Jay,
Do you judge California's democratic "progress" by what happened to Rodney King? Partly, yes, of course! In a country of 25 million people, and an Army of 150,000, stupid stuff happens. This is NOT "stupid stuff". This is a mind set through all ranks. It is a general view on the Geneva convention and its worth held Which is more than you can say was happening in that same prison under Sadaam's rule. Oh yeah? -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Making a comparison with what Sadaams lot used to do is fatuous. The issue is comparing actual American behavior there with the ideal that the US is promoting. Saying that the US brutalises Iraqis less harshly than Sadaam is hardly a glowing recommendation. think about it it. |

Give it time -- it might catch. Snide Answer #1: Yea, we could use some democracy over here...seeing as how our current President was not chosen democratically. Snide Answer #2: Oh, you want other countries to have armed militias and mobs running around blowing up anything that moves? |
