Well (again) yes it could be a reaction to the bombings but as I said, the UK details were published by The Guardian the day before the bombings. I read that various of your top newspapers are having a go at London as a centre of Muslim terrorism/which is home to many Muslims (do they mean Arabs? both are true); I can do without Bush bombing London... -- where's Mo? Mo, are you still on the list? Judy Andreas Ramos <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: More details from the Times of India: The Brits will pull out 2/3rds of their troops by April (not mid-Summer). This is a major change. It's being compared to Spain's pullout after the Madrid Bombings (where 190 people died). A week ago, Bush made a major speech where he said he would not run. The same day, 20 highly-trained US troops died in Afghanistan. Then the London Bombings. And now, the US is pulling out half of its troops. yrs, andreas www.andreas.com ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
