Let's remember this is not an USA only discussion group,


Aren't the rest of us granted the right to vote in the US presidential
election soon anyway? I mean, since the USA seems to control so much of
what's going on in the world, it's only fair that we have a say in how
you are governing yourselves and us ;-)

But seriously: I think you should vote for a president who actually
knows what war is and has experienced one. He would be less likely to
involve your country in another one.

Maybe you should start to look for a president who knows what peace is
and how to achieve it? Just an opinion from the rest of the world.

Bull****. "The rest of the world" better wake up and realize there is
a global war going on, and ignoring it isn't going to make it go away.

As far as I'm concerned, peace through superior firepower suits me
fine.

Wait until the suicide bombers blow up a bank in Zurich...

Now, can we get back to soaring?

CNN & Fox brainwashing seems to work perfectly.

Bert,
I got a big kick out of you linking Fox and CNN. In the USA, the right wing
calls CNN the Clinton News Network or the Communist News Network. And they
think Fox is "fair and balanced." Why do they think that? Fox tells them,
every chance they get.

Hoping the rainstops this weekend so I can fly!

Well, for a European watching any news station in the US, it is amazing how
little information is actually passed (don't even mention background
information)...

Couldn't agree more. Though it has been going on for quite some time
now, it has been getting substantially stronger lately. It goes by
many names: "class war", "imperialism", "colonialism", "genocide".
Oh yes, "war on terror", too.

On a global scale, it is yielding many 9/11's _a day_.



As far as I'm concerned, peace through superior firepower suits me
fine.


Superior ? Are you planing to _nuke_ the pentagon ? The FMI ? The
European Round Table ? Or are you referring to the kids getting
blown to pieces while "enduring" freedom shock-and-awe style ?



Wait until the suicide bombers blow up a bank in Zurich...


You are absolutely right. The possibility for massive terrorism is
real and rising sharply, thanks in no small part to the policies of
the folks currently holding office in Washington. One more reason to
press for an end to the madness.



Now, can we get back to soaring?


I'd love to. In a peaceful world, that is. The last time i sat in a
glider, B52's were taken to fly over on their tour of rampage. Sort
of takes the pleasure out of the ride...

Won't happen. That's where they keep their money.
