Arch Duke Ferdinand should not have been assassinated, either. Hitler should not have taken over 3/4 of Europe and wiped out 2 million before a first American bullet was fired in Europe. Slobodan should have never did his ethnic house cleaning schtick. And Hussein...well, what's the use in repeating the same litany. The world is not a pretty place but, imo, it gets ever a little bit better when the above genetic pools get purged, albeit, with the less than pristine, perfect methodology white blood cells do vis a vis viruses. It's called evolution...not always done in a straight line. What? You're not privy to fits and starts? cheers, lazarre

Sure I'll stir up some feathers, but too important a point to not make. Question for everyone who believes in a God -- who do you think God considers more innocent, American soldiers caught and killed while on a mission to do the same to others, or an unborn baby? Kind of makes one wonder if all the "God bless Americas" are actually being heard when America condones the killing of 3000-4000 babies every day. If you actually think about it, who are the barbarians? I don't know, but is abortion legal in Muslim countries? Iraq may torture and kill adults each day, but does it amount to 3000-4000? Is killing wrong only if the person being tortured and killed can protest? Many of the conservatives stand idly by but call this war "moral." The liberals are worse. They call this war immoral and wrong. They want to stop medical testing on a rat because it's inhumane. They spend large amounts of money fighting to save a seal. Yet, they see NOTHING wrong in killing an unborn child. I'll say it again. America (in general, obviously not everyone) now ONLY values life when it does not inconvenience their lifestyle, their entertainment, or their money -- the three gods of modern America. Ask most old people, most handicapped people, most mentally-challenged people just how much time and effort their families give them. It will not surprise me if America and the third world country's lifestyles meet somewhere in the middle as eventually, every nation and empire reaps what it sows. I remain, SOROS
