a stupid blind fool looking for WAR a WAR and any WAR will do, any WAR will do won't it.

Rich, you are stupid beyond comprehension and I believe, a true coward. Nearly 7,000 of my (apperently not your) countrymen and women and children were killed 14 days ago by an enemy that told us they were gonna do it. AND they have sworn this this is not the end. And that they will continue this campaign to death. That means they will kill more of us till some one steps up and kills them first. This what pussies like you don't understand.

I take you for a guy who walks by trouble, more concerned for himself that the person in need. We see your kind all over the place in the crowds that stand by and watch as thugs mug old ladies for their Social Security checks.

Well, not me. This is my creed.

Zapata's memory, like his ghost, rides on in Mexico. His name has been invoked by the indigenous rebel army in Chiapas, the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN), in their struggle against exactly the same social ills that Zapata fought against: large landlords and (often foreign-owned) big business running a corrupt and repressive rŽgime that leaves the peasants, particularly indigenous peoples, landless and exploited. Throughout this century, people all over the world have risen up against oppression, taking heart from Zapata's cry:

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees!
