RE trusted Rush Limbaugh is reporting that soldiers of the 3d ID have found $400,000,000 US cash and some priceless antiques perhaps out of the museum behind a block wall in a building near a Palace. They are turning it in to their higher authorities (sob) instead of merely divying it up. I guess that takes the "pillage" out of our wars Might be able to verify this story by going to Rush's Web site, I will just wait for the next of these fast breaking stories

Paul.....This could be a great title for the book you should write! At least an essay or article. I should write down my thoughts, I have been doing a lot of thinking about global anti-Americanism and I think most people have it wrong. There's the Jacobian school of American bad behaviour causes anger. There is the resentment/envy school, America is resented for it's success. There is the failed Socialists school, American capitalistm beat socialism so people resent America. Alhough there is some truth to all these schools of thought, I find none of them compelling. I think the core issue is trust. In a global world, people are forced to trust America heavily. 'Forced to Trust' is a paradox people have to work out for themselves. It will take time and America must demonstrate that it is trustworthy at a new level. Interesting times. Paul
