34. "i know that. but still" In response to In response to 33 Fri Mar-07-03 06:33 AM
it's important that this kind of suffering is recognized, discussed, and prevented in the future.
now, if we could only do the same when we speak for the african diaspora....
but i didn't want to turn this post/my reply into that.
and yes, people will milk anything. but they have a right to discuss and heal from their collective suffering, just as we do.
at least they've been able to create a safe space in which to do it. i admire them for keeping their language/cultures/traditions alive.

here's your alternatives.... 1. reevaluate ALL existing wmd treaties and force compliance across the board. make us re-sign the treaty dubya backed out of. be held liable by the world court. etc. act like we share the planet w/ others 2. let the inspectors work. 3. insure that, in exchange for continued disarmament, the sanctions are lifted from the iraqi people. create infrastructure. 4. with a delegation of iraqi & other mideast factions, discuss alternatives to current governmental structures IN KEEPING WITH their cultural integrity and sovreignty 5. disarm israel. what's good for the goose... 6. finish what we started in afghanistan (not like i agree w/ that either, really, but...) and truly work to restabilize the country 7. give more attention to alternative energy sources.
