>>No, but you can at least try. Specifically, you and me don't have much power over this situation, but the U.S. government does. And the question was not, what can you and I do, but what do I suggest that the U.S. government should do.

>>"Whether peace is to be reached only after unimaginable horrors precipitated by humanity's stubborn clinging to old patterns of behaviour, or is to be embraced now by an act of consultative will, is the choice before all who inhabit the earth. At this critical juncture when the intractable problems confronting nations have been fused into one common concern for the whole world, failure to stem the tide of conflict and disorder would be unconscionably irresponsible."

Chris;

Yes, I agree with what is happening. As I have said before, I just do not like the way Bush and his Administration have handled things. You know the old story a little sugar goes a long way in accepting something bitter. Well, a different personality, and well chosen words can make anything seem better then the words from "a group of good old boys", at least in my book. :)

Have you ever had anyone tell you with eloquence where to go and how to get there? Compare that to some one who says “get bent” or worse! The message is the same but the delivery is so different if you know what I mean. Some things in life are more acceptable depending upon how they are expressed and handled. Being rough and openly threatening does not endear you to everyone.
