Well, they pay their dues - the US doesn't. What do you expect? It's not
the name USA that guarantees a top position everywhere, it should be the

I can't wait to see another nerve-gas factory^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hoops, it
turned out to be a medicine factory after all bombed, or something like
that on a much bigger scale.

What do you think would me more successfull: a full-blown war against
say Afghanistan or a Marshal-plan for Afghanistan?

Reading a lot of these 'We will have Our Revenge' posts have made it
clear to me that the hormones that you grow your beef with do have
effects on humans too.

Good luck,
