Fred, your sincere sentiments are very much appreciated. But we also
have in mind the 100's of thousands of Iraqis who have died under
attack during the last dozen years.

Yours, Reg.


Where are these Hundreds of Thousands coming from? The defeat of the
Iraqi Army during Desert Storm. That was a conflict started by the Iraqi
President. The US President lead the army that defeated him. The
majority of the casualties suffered during the current action have been
the result a deliberate campaign by those opposed to the Iraqi people
guiding their own destiny. To say otherwise is to devalue the lives lost
in this action. I look foreword to the day that all non Iraqi military
personnel can go home in peace and with honor.
