<< Anthony,

That's a pretty wacky statement, and completely irrelevant to the question.

The question regarded the American media, not how many people Saddam Hussein

has killed or Bush has/will kill.

i don't post much, but have a correspondent in friesland, northern holland 
(they have never abandoned the dream of getting free...kind of the native 
american equivalent in holland).  it is a thoughtful european insight.  he is 
a journalist.


greeting from the netherlands, and especially the province of friesland,

that was the first country that accepted the creation of the united

states...there is maquette of that declaration in the house of friesland in

my city of leeuwarden..


but that has been..now there is saddam. I CHOOSE FOR PEACE, but...sometimes

you have to go to war. in the gulf-war the west and especially usa should

have taken bagdad - then there was for now

no problem -not THAT problem. betwee belgrad and djakarta there will always

be war, in some place!. moslims can't stand other people, even their own.

and their jealousy of western life and standards is as green.as a snake's

eye. they say it is allah who wants them fight, but in their heart they know

better. they disgust the west because then they can see thei own poverty -

while they can be rich when their was a democracy. moslimdemocracy doesn't

exist moslims here in the netherlands  know theur rights, not theur duties


But now the WAR. I think USA should have taken some more time to fight.

europeans except brits are more patient. maybe more c l e v e r? chirac's

france seeks la gloire, and they have always fished in trouble water. i hope

the war will be a 'quick' one. a week? bomb iraqi headquarters, cut the

heart out of the military and it will be a quick victory.


don't worry if other people will 'love' usa or not. mighty powers always had

to fight (morally and on the battlefields)) other countries  stay alert, and

live on as best as you can and be a friend of others, and also of yourself.

and don't panic! that's what we say here in europe: usa panics, and why? one

incident in september 01 can't get you down -that is too much honour for bin

laden.


be proud, don't make yourself  a small country without confidence


. the ennemies wil laugh


bob, don't worry too much. alle the best, symenkingma
