Thank you Peter K, and yes I realised eventually what clicking on one's user name did (thought it would launch Outlook Express, at first)

But as far as the rationale of some of the obviously pro-war contributors here, I find that it is often the case with such people, they will not use the same yardsticks to measure the flip side of their argument.

As for as who is the better Democratic candidate, I think it is probably much of a muchness, as they are all anti Bush.
The one who will extract their soldiers from the occupied territories if elected, will have my approval, though.

I think I would sleep better in my bed at night, knowing that my Government was involved in adressing the underlying issues regarding the upsurge of international terrorism, rather than trying to beat everybody into submission.
