Z,
I agree with this post 100%. I still maintain however you are too sensitive--I used the term thin-skinned earlier. I bash out emails all day. I run a business, chat with you guys etc. My emails at work are sharp. Perhaps its an american thing--most folks dont get too upset with me although there have been a few.
You europeans are so so civilised and so sensitive.<ggg>. Perhaps you misconstue our nature, our idiom etc. I love a good fight but I am not hostile. By the way in answer to your pm, the term anti-american when used here more often that not means anti-american position or anti-administration. I never thought you hated Americans. I am anti-Iraq but have nothing but the deepest sympathies for their people. In the first war before there was SI, I watched the iraqi army crushed in place by our bombers and buried in the sand. Hundreds of thousands Iraqis died. I was not happy about that then, nor am i now. I cut my teeth on Vietnam--52,000 american lives lost and millions of vietnamese. I know one life equals one life regardless of nationality. If i thought being a pacifist would do any good, i would become one as spiritually i am one. But i have watched the dictators of the world take power and kill millions so nipping that shit in the bud takes precedence for me. What more can i say. Mike
