Then it is their obligation to fight against their government -with sticks, if need be. I understand the Europeans are traumatized by the 1. and 2. WW's, but you better stat getting a grip on reality. All this "lets feed the poor starving afghanis" is nice, but it neglect the hard decision that need to be made. We all would prefer to be the life savers in *every* situation, but there are times when it is "less bad" to take lives. The damage the UN and kofi anan has done recently in isreal - pushing for an independant palestinian state - shows how blindly desparate many are to have the *appearance* of peace. Who cares who is right (the Israelis) and who is/was the aggressor (the Palestinian). And who cares if this UN imosed "peace" will cause much more suffering of the innocent down the road. Oh, an the Germans are generally sypathetic to the palestinians - so much for learning from history. They want peace so desperately, they will blindly root for who *appears* to be the underdog. It's unbelievable how blind people can be in their desire to have all problems just go away. -- Regards, Peter Lairo
