Hi, I just wanted to say that these posts and discussions like them are far
more entertaining~~v than any of the usual bullshit in this group. I might
add that I, and many other Americans are still formulating our ideas about
what is right and wrong in the American policy. I dont have time now to
reply since Im leaving out of town but I do want to add that simply _having_
this discussion is a huge step forward and a step, I might add (as a cheap
stab here maybe) that would not be possible in Afghanistan under the Taliban
rule, because they did not allow free speech. You might claim that there are
different ideas of freedom, and maybe you are right, but still, the fact
remains that the only way human evolution has progressed has been through
open, democratic discussion among free people. (wow i bet thats another
statement you'll take offense too). Anyways keep the posts coming, i look
forward to reading them and ill try to make a counter argument when i return
from vacation.

Blayke
