OT ... willcousa, that's a bit over the top.

Definition of "mankind" -
"1. The human race; humankind.
2. Men as opposed to women."
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language

If we assume an author means definition 2, instead of definition 1, that's our problem, not the author's, IMHO. We are all taking political correctness to an unnecessary extreme.

Regards, Ron

Will,

re: Tell that to the women who are buried up to their necks and stoned, people who are gassed or experimented on, people who are placed in a slow acting acid bath and they will see your crimes and raise you a million-fold.

I thought this was a self-defense action, not a humanitarian mission. Am I wrong? What's the new US policy wrt war, and how does it apply to the rest of the countries in the world? Do we attack every country that isn't a democracy, or that tortures their citizens, or that may have "weapons of mass destruction"? Or is there a formula for a combination all of the above?

At any rate, I wish Bush or someone would explain the details of the new, preemptive defense, humanitarian, anti-dictator US war policy. I think there are a lot of our former loyal allies, Germany, France, even Mexico and Canada that might also be interested.

And when we are done with the spectacle of the "SHOCK AND AWE" job on real Iraqi people, maybe Bush will tell us the next logical target.

John

Acid bath or cruise missile, in the end does it make a difference? Which is more noble?
