I don't know if this will make any sense, but, To paraphrase: "Those who do not learn lessons from the past, are doomed to repeat the same mistakes". The U.S. screwed up prior to WWII by not squelching 'ol Adolph when they had a chance. The U.S. screwed up (?) by not allowing Patton to invade mother Russia. The Russian winter probably would have squelched this plan as it did to both Nappy and Adolph. The U.S. screwed up in the Korean "conflict" - never classified as a war by not allowing General Mac. to go above the 38th parallel and clobber the chinese. The U.S. screwed up BIG TIME by getting us into 'nam, and then not backing up the grunts in the field. Hell, our hands were tied. At this point in time, we have a President who will not back down. I just pray that the rest of the politicians will support whatever has to be done in order to remove the cancer that has been formed in Iraq. This is vision. BTW, I spent 3 years in Europe - Mostly Germany and France and had the opportunity to visit the southern part of Spain. Had no problems - but this was back in 1959. I am also 1/2 Greek, and know where you are coming from. It still is a delightful country. I couldn't stand the French in the cities, but found the French in the county to be very nice. Loved Germany. I remember leaving France (where your tires squished out a tribute to the cows that had preceded you) and hitting Germany where everything was clean. I think the French are still po'd about getting kicked out of Algeria and 'nam. NOW, what is your feeling about ORCL. I dumped today, with a very small profit. Plan to get back in @10, and buy more if it hits 7.50 - 7.75. Take Care!
