Everywhere I went yesterday I talked with people who were afraid, especially the older people, people old enough to remember World War II. Sorry to hear that there is already a backlash against Afghanis even in Australia. I have had several Afghani clients, including one fellow who was perhaps the worst client I ever had (committed perjury, wound up being sent to jail for contempt of court - this was a civil case) but I liked his wife and his parents. Afghanis are very independent and fight very hard. >>Maybe people in the "blue part" feel ambivalent, but those of us from the "red part" feel no ambivalence whatsoever. I predict that the turnaround will be strong. I've lived through a few little wars, and seen what happens.<< "Red part" and "blue part" refer to The Map, which is famous in the US, a breakdown of who voted for Bush and Gore by county: mwhodges.home.att.net Mq gives me a hard time for saying that "war is good for the economy." Not that I think war is "good". I don't know another way to express the observation, but historically, it's accurate.
