Al >As for your remark about besmirching, you are right and I will drop such diatribe from my further postings.

I wasn't referring to you nor was I trying to be sanctimonious. I was referring to the abcnews piece which dealt with the man's private life and other alleged fantasies/perversions which I thought was unnecessary and which, by mentioning them, weakens the US position against him. If he's nuts he should be treated or institutionalized, not executed!

> carpet bombing Iraq isn't the way to go about it.

Unfortunately, we both know that that's exactly what will happen.

>I do care about the poor Iraqis who haven't bothered anyone getting caught up in a merciless crossfire

Also the US boys who get caught up in something far bigger than they realized. It's strange that the US people who know about war eg the military officials, don't want it and are doing what they can to avoid it but politicians, who haven't even heard a shot fired in anger, are gung-ho.

Today I moved a step closer to being a "proper" American. There is a satellite radio service beamed to Africa and I have just noticed that NPR is now one of the stations transmitted. So now I can listen 24X7 to "real" American radio, and not just propaganda stations like VOA or CNN. It's amazing that one can on live the other side of the earth from the US but one's mind can spend a great deal of its time there. The world is really very small.

I'll go through that website tomorrow although I have to say that I'm not an extraterrestrial or UFO freak.
