Bryster, please, "Brit" wasn't meant as an offence. At all. If in your language is dispregiative, I sincerely apologize for it, 'cause I didn't know. This said, yes, you're right, the fundamentalist arab world hasn't raised a finger to help president Hussein and won't do it, for the reasons I said above. I'm only wondering why this war. I don't take into any whatsoever serious account the claim that this is being done for the sake of Iraqi people and to bring democracy to them. As for the nuke possibility, hey, are you joking or what? Now, my, should I be grateful that the US didn't use atomic weapons? I think sometimes we really loose the perception and the seriousness of what we say and affirm (me included, probably). So, should I be thinking, "Hey, they're not acting ugly, gosh, they didn't even use a nuke, good ole boyz, how caring they are that they only flamed Baghdad with 2,000 conventionally clustery bombies each of these eighteen nites"? No way, TheBryster. I'm a step beyond (or behind, depends on which POV you have) this. I'm not saying that Saddam Hussein's a good govt. No way. He's a criminal, we all agree on that. I just wonder why this war, when there are so much other (supported, like Hussein was until a while ago) criminals on this battered planet. And he's not directly supporting Al-Qaeda either. So, again, I'm asking myself why. And I don't pretend to have an answer. Only, I don't buy and I will never buy the humanitarian reason they're so eagerly tryin' to sell me since this mess began. As for the coffee... er, actually I'm drinking tea right now. Earl Grey. And in the British fashion, also. I learned how to prepare it properly reading an article by Douglas Adams (who, along with Monty Python, is maybe the humorist I appreciate most in the whole world... hey, but. waitaminnit... they're Brits! All of 'em! Ouch...) :-) Bryster, I hope that is clear that I don't mean to offend anybody. Friendly, Stefano
