A89: Re: Online petition to stop the war in Yugoslavia
Haha, that's not my view anyway... If we pull out now, the US will look
like idiots, and that's what these people want us to do, make ourselves look
like idiots. We are in this 'war' to protect the people from the same
racial clensing that Hitler used on the Jews. I bet a lot of people don't
know that Saddam Husien and this new guy in Yugoslavia worship Adoph
Hitler... Chew on that info and then make your decision... would you really
want to live in a world controlled by a Hitler-wannabe? If we stamp out the
spark now, we have a smaller fire to deal with down the road... Give our
politicians a break, they may be mucky-mucks, but they are a lot more
informed than the general populus...

P.S. This thread shouldn't be on the A89 list anyway, but then again, is the
