(What the h#!*) From: mycal@everexn.com Date: 25/01/1991 22:05:16 UTC People, people, just to point out that Edward M. Markouski resides at a machine called [iczer-1!emm] and that Stefan A. Werner resides at [iczer1!saw] what's the deal here? Is this a ban Fox NY conspiracy or what? ---------------------- When war comes peoples emotions run high. People become blind to all except what they think is right, wrong, good and bad. So my recommendation is to all who are following this issue to look at all sides, find as many news sources and opinions as possible and then make a decision on where you stand. Of course Iraqi radio/TV is going to be biased to there side and USA radio/TV is going to be biased to our side. I recommend Shortwave radio, from Europe and North Africa to supplement the news you get from American sources. An Example: My Girlfriends Brother is Stationed in Germany and he knows of people in the US Army that had to be shackled to be sent to what they call the Sand Box. But I haven't seen anything in the US press about it, nor do I think I ever will (well, someday someone may write a book about it, give it 10-15 years.) Another Example: CNN was reporting on Pro/Against War rallies, it gave a number of 10,000 protesters in a San Francisco Protest. A local News Station NBC KRON ch 4 estimated the number at 75,000. My question is who should I believe CNN who gave the low number along with makings a real big deal about Pro War rallies in which they gave no numbers. Or the local NBC station who had people there to see it first hand. Things may not be as cut an dried as a kid saying "Well he hit me first..." There was probably a reason for it, no matter how good, bad, right or wrong there was still a reason. So look at all sides, find out as much information from as many different sources. Put yourself in the shoes of the Iraqi's, Israeli, Germans, English, Kuwaiti's (which would be hard because what's morale/right to them may be barbaric/wrong to you.) Then try to make some decision based on what you have learned, not on what someone in authority said it should be. You to can be a free thinker. I hope every one over in the 'sand box' comes home alive and unharmed. I have some friends over there and I know there scared and are expecting the worst. But only time will tell. So everyone quit you name calling and lets discuss this issue like the intelligent men/women that we are. There is room for everyone's opinion, this is America.
