Hi Ricsi, My favorite quotation from the Vietnam War era (er, um, Vietnam Police Action) was something to the effect of ... "We had to destroy the village to save it". I can't remember if that was real or from a movie, but it seemed to capture the spirit of the moment. In some ways, it still does. (But, there are two sides to every coin. I'm still trying to figure out the state of the world.) Bob ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!
