agustus- please don't think i'm being flippant because i'm not. i am also not very articulate but please bear with me. simply put, to my way of thinking, there are two ways to go about living life - as an individual and as a country. one is by helping and one is by killing. monies spent on military endeavours would go a very long way spent on drug research and medicines. two billion dollars is it? imagine. a country can aspire to become an empire, or not. the bush administration imo chose the former and the world will be suffering the consequences of that choice for a very long long time. memories of those who have suffered and lost their loves ones as a result of the iraqi invasion will not disappear quickly. they'll want revenge. it didn't have to happen. i guess i'm getting off topic. but when you think of where the world would be if we had gone down the other path .... i'm going to have to ponder on your post, i think, to try and understand where you're coming from. -rose
