GST, one book i read on the iraqi situation years ago was called UNHOLY BABYLON. i highly recommend it if one can still get it.

i also read an interesting book about Noriega, i think it was called Divorcing the Dictator or something like that.

Horsefeathers.

Whew!!! We need to lighten up. We have a lot of horses around here. I can't find a single one with feathers. Do you know where that phrase cam from?

How many die moving the diamonds out of Africa? How much of that money goes to buy
weapons? How much of the money from the jewels we wear is used to kill women and
children?


The US jewelry industry started boycotting all "illicit" diamonds from Africa. I know it is a small consolation but all of the trade organizations are working hard on this. I doubt that will help much but it is a start.

I do wish people would stop picking on SUVs. There is a place for them. My wife is really pleased they signed such a vehicle. The use of them in large warm climate metropolitan areas confuses me.

There are problems within this country that are huge. The amount of people with out adequate food and clothing is significant.
