I'm glad to see you think that Bill Clinton did a great job and so is Nancy. I hope you don't criticize them or America which they create. As far as <The Berlin wall didn't fall down on its own.> I explained that Gorby didn't want to pursue the murderous dictatorship which would be necessary to keep the many nationalities locked up within the USSR. Stalin didn't goof around. The old style totalitarians knew how to keep people frightened into submission. Siberia awaited recalcitrants. Tanks keep Czechoslovakia in line. Hungary's massacres kept them sensible. Castro held the line. Tito wasn't to messed around with. Gorby, you apparently don't know, was not of that sort. Ronald Reagan standing their saying "Mr Gorby, tear down this wall" [or words to that effect] wasn't God parting the Red Sea, and Raygun hasn't yet been canonized or deified, though you seem to be heading that way. As far as what I write here, it might be a great surprise to you that not everyone thinks the same as you. Not even everyone in the USA thinks alike. Anyway, I shall continue to write what I like. Bad luck for you that you grow weary. <I am growing quite weary of your excessive rants against the U.S. > I recommend a nice cup of tea and a lie down. In case you don't know, what the USA does overseas is my business. What it does inside the USA is my business too - "No taxation without representation" and all that. I pay a lot of tax in the USA. But I don't collect the dole, or pension, or get to use the roads [other than on infrequent trips there], no medical treatment, no education. Illegal Mexican invaders get more services than I do and they get paid in cash and don't pay taxes [other than sales tax]. Mqurice
