Thanks, but no help so soon, please. Not reading you people is harder than quitting to smoke, cause I learn things here. See, today I learned that this "." will probably be taught in the State Department school as meaning "warning shot". Happy dreams ALL US Veterans. OT, but only one and it's the right day for that: I fully agreed with the US anti communist expansion in Vietnam; contrary to all my friends, French and American. (I wasn't seeing Israelis at that time, and Arabs I talked to didn't care much). I even thought that losing that war so slowly, at the equivalent number of Casualties that the French had for Algeria, but for some strategy, and more than twice the time frame was strategically acceptable, or in more simple words, that it was a victory, just like in the chess game with the watch. Of course you all paid a heavy price. Personally and collectively. But on the famous day of ninety one, when Yeltsine put the vote to the Duma : " Let's all vote on dissolving the PCUS now", you were paid back. In full. Funny that no one that I can remember wrote or said that around Europe. (Raymond Aron possibly, but not that clear because you can't alienate all your readers-and buddies!.) Who cares! You did it! Thank you!
