From Colin Powell autobio: "I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed... managed to wangle slots in Reserve and National Guard units...Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country." My American Journey, p. 148

I have not been able to equate ANY RELIGION with the acts perpetrated on mankind by all religions throughout history. I see it only as a dividing force. If people want literal translations of the Koran,Bible and other documents the essence of every thing that I have been taught is love thy neighbor as thyself. Have mercy and the follow the Golden Rule. I find that Ghandi,M.L.King,Mother Theresa embody the kind of world I should like to live in. The men who perpetrate terrorism,pre-emptive war whatever the reason should be in the front lines..and not sitting in offices surrounded by body guards... Let them lead the charge and not land on a battleship and declare a war over when the number of dead since that debacle has exceeded the war dead... IMHO...only and probably lots of arguments against my thinking. Suma
