Hello Daniel: Firstly, the Italian government is actively supporting what the media call "War against terrorism". They have said they're ready to send their ships and soldiers, and in fact they've already done it. Secondly, the Italian army has been present for years with the rest of NATO forces in Bosnia and Kosovo, as a part of the multinational effort to keep peace there. Thirdly, I am getting tired of those political OT messages we are seeing here in the PDML lately. And, as a sidenote, assisting the Israelis would not be exactly like battling terrorism, it would be more alike to helping the Nazi forces which destroyed the Jew ghetto in Warsaw in WWII. By the way, I am not an Italian, but I live in a country (Spain) which has lived with terrorism since the late sixties (more than one thousand people have died so far), and since then, we have received little or none international help or understanding in our fight against terrorist groups like ETA. And now, don't tell me I am anti-american. That's nonsense. But I won't eat everything the propaganda machinery wants us to swallow. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Carlos Royo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Zaragoza (Aragon) - Spain ------------------------------------------------------------------ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
