Gosh, I hope this doesn't escalate too much and consume too much of the list. Does my replying to it cause it to? I suppose it could, so I'll try to use restraint.
The US attacks aren't about revenge, and they're not about "foreign lifestyles." They are all about eliminating the groups that perform these acts of terrorism, and the US is not the only country, by far, to be a victim of these attacks over the last twenty years. As such, the existence of the US use of force should not make anyone feel that the US is insular, since we're trying to rid the world of that which seeks to destroy not only us but many other countries as well, and we're the only nation that has the ability to do it. > Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2002 07:31:10 +0000 > From: colin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Bush (NJC, very much so!) > > Jim L'Hommedieu wrote: > > > Colin, > > > > Well yes, maybe.
