>Do you not read posts to the end? Depends on the post. Yours is based on the mistaken assumption that Larry's words quoted here refer to Iraq. As they don't, why should I read on?

Did I not say nuff already? Was I talking to somebody else? In any event, the comparison to Vietnam was neither brilliant nor original such that it deserves a reprimand from mother. The Vietnam comparison is in fact widely debated and applied. Most agree the comparison does not yet fit completely. I will, however, take credit for the intellectual bling of using a Vietnam era song in what is arguably a potentially fitting context. -----Original Message----- From: Judith Evans <judithevans001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Apr 30, 2004 2:32 PM To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Crusade No more such comments, please, Andy.

Not knowing what to call it begs the question, what are we fightin' for (don't ask me, I don't give a damn, next stop is (you got it) Fallujah-nam ...) Okay, okay, I got work to do, have to grab this tail and make it stop wagging the dog ... Hey, Wag the Dog, wasn't Clinton accused of ... Really, nuff already. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Paul <Robert.Paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Apr 30, 2004 1:24 PM To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Re: Crusade JL has unintentionally posted an exchange between Larry Kramer and Lance Simmons that took place on another list, probably THEORIA, to this list. Larry Kramer is not subscribed to lit-ideas (unless he's remained silent since its creation). Therefore, responses to what he (or Lance Simmons) said on another list are pointless.
