lol its almost as funny as when i heard we bombed a wedding and initial reports i heard were they were shooking ak's into the sky and then we bomb them. I can just picture the ceremony, dad and brothers shooting off their aks into the sky (I guess rice is too dull) and then BOMBS come falling down, talk about bad luck.
I KNOW thats not what happened it just makes me laugh to think about the situation (aside from people dieing that is ) Bill Wheatley Senior Database Developer Macromedia Certified Advanced Coldfusion Developer EDIETS.COM 954.360.9022 X159 ICQ 417645 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Philip Arnold - ASP" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 12:10 PM Subject: RE: World Surrenders Sovereignty > > :) yes we got into the war in 1941 but from 1939 the USA was > > supporting Britain, lendlease, giving brits destroyers, > > equipment, holding their heads above water.
