Hey lorrie did you order any of those republican senatorial menage a trois video tapes? Makes a great stocking stuffer for the over-50 crowd! (and you know those are the hardest to buy for)

<< I disagree that we have the power to define how a political leader who has killed people for sport will treat children>> O K let me put this as straight forward as possible. There are now [as I understand it ] 10,000 more children dying every month than before the embargo. We don't have to define anything! Just stop the embargo! Not that complicated. Stop the embargo and 10,000 children live don't and they die. <<to you I say charity begins at home>> Oh I see if we can't end suffering at home we some how shouldn't end it in Iraq. I say to you whether or not we are capable of saving American children we should save Iraqi children if we can.We don't often get an opportunity to do good with such little effort. End the embargo! <<every day all around the world... there are children starving to death..what makes people so sanctimonious when it comes to Iraqi children?>> No one is being sanctimonious here. If it were as simple to end the suffering of the worlds children as it is to end the Iraqi children's death I'm all for it.End the embargo simple as that. <<we're better off with the current policy than we would be otherwise>> How so ? What has this policy done that has made us better off. What has this policy done that justifies the starvation of 10,000 children per month? Explain please. pez
