IAC, your use of the "Kumbaya" crack was clearly
racist if unintended, and I thought somewhat beneath you. You surely know perfectly well that "Kumbaya" is a black South African folk song and introducing it into the discussion didn't seem warranted to me. "Kumbaya" is a Christian South African folk song, and is in many Christian hymn books. Ed didn't insult me by referrring to this Christian song. Why do you feel insulted because it is also a "black" song? Jim Thomas |

Then more than 5,000 moms would be wrong.
We got back from Desert Storm with every body okay. About a year later Corporal Larry Hazelwood was murdered in a random act. He was 22. I went to the funeral home and saw this fine young man laid out in his coffin in his dress blues. His mother was so disconsolate that three ladies had to help her sit in a chair. Her weeping for her dead son was the saddest thing that I have ever witnessed. Those 5,000 mothers deserve your sympathy, not your contempt. Walt |

No. Do you think I should? Presumably, Ed Rasimus thinks you should. Walt |

The Bush administration is arrogant and incompetent. Bush is the -worst-
president we've -ever- had. Worse than Reagan? Come now, let's not forget the godfather of the mujahadin. Not so very long ago, most of these terrorists were proxies for RR and his boy Bill Casey. When they video taped the throat slittings of Russian draftees, they were freedom fighters. I thought Reagan a very bad president also. I don't think he ever made a tough decision. And like Bush, he was a puppet of his handlers. The one thing he can claim is egging his staff on into what became Iran-Contra, while claiming he would never negociate with terrorists. Walt |

And, let's put the "mounting casualties" thing into perspective this
weekend as we recall 400,000 from WWII and 58,000 KIA from SEA. Big difference-- The 5,000 casualties we have now are totally unnecessary. This is the next hurdle for you to get over, Ed. Walt |
