<Dont forget the white on brown face part... it adds emotion. > What are the ASTM colour levels of the USA military, who will be doing the colonizing? I've heard comment that it's not white. So I guess you mean the white Iraqi faces and the brown/black, American one? How does the colour add emotion? Isn't the colour due to sun exposure? Why is sun exposure related to emotion? Usually, in my experience, emotion is related to experience, rather than ASTM colour levels. I think the size of the colonizers' guns will have more effect on emotion than the colour of their skins. We haven't had a military colonizing for half a century. The last attempts were unpopular [Germany, Japan, China to Tibet, Indonesia to East Timor]. The USSR tried Afghanistan. It's mainly Americans who go on about skin colour. The rest of the world doesn't care much. The rest of the world is more concerned by weirdo foreigners with disgusting, unpleasant or otherwise undesirable practises, polluting their pristine pool, not so much what colour they are. Japanese for example, like whiteness, but dislike gaijin barbarians. Mqurice
