Re Omar's comment about hiding behind Americans that I would support carpet bombing, I am not hiding and I would never suupport carpet bombing. Two reasons for this is that I oppose such on moral grounds and I have been bombed. The first is more important. I did support destroying training camps in Afghanistan, not carpet bombing. So why did I say what I said? Because of GWB and Cheney, et. al, in the White House and because Bush and Kerry are running neck and neck and Nader will not withdraw. I would elaborate further but I am paying $100 to use this computer.

It seems that, in the case of a terrorist attack on the US soil that would result in tens of thoudands of deaths, Veronica would support full-scale retaliation against Arab civilian populations... somewhere. I guess that this is a legimate position to take, but why doesn\t Veronica speak for herself, instead of hiding behind "Americans" ? I have not seen evidence that the majority of Americans would support such idiocy. O.K. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
