Peace is a good idea. But no one seems to want it. Or rather not enough of us. The people in power have it because we let them have it. The people of my country and yours allow it happen. The voice of reason and peace is far too small. It seems it is easier for us to do nothing. As for Macks comment: well i can only assume he didn't read the whole mesaage as my 'swipe' as he put it was aginast the UK too. And whether or not any of you like it, this feeling of fear about the USA is real and widespread. You are also correct in that the UK did terrible things to other nations in the past and recently-in Bosnia and Iraq and in Northern Ireland. Like the USA in Vietnam and Grenada etc etc etc None of which alters my point about the fear the uSA engenders in people. Not an untruth, not a jibe, not a swipe, not an unkindness-just a fact. It is far easier to express righteous idignation at percieved insult than it is to address the issue at hand. The fact that I and millions of others are deeply concerned about the American postion on using nukes, and my countries siding with America, is a fact, not a personal slight or attack on you or anybody else. However, the response to my comment is a very good example of why we have so much conflcit. People interpret things the way they do, which may not have anything to do with the original intent and thus discord arises which leads to further misunderstanding, which leads to branding the other side as 'other' and then bad and before you know it we are at war and then out come the nukes...... For a long time, i truly believed(or maybe hoped) that nukes would never be used again. Now I think it is just a matter of time. I would love to be wrong. When i see the people of the UK and the people of the USA take to the streets in their millions protesting about this latest pronouncement, I will perhaps believe that we can avoid the nuclear end. > > RR -- bw colin DAK,BRO GC, 950i, 940,860,864,890, 260,Silver 830,860, 580 and 270, Passap 6000, Duo80.
