One must be very carful what one says and does in writing on the internet. CarolC, thank you for your interpretation of the endorsements of the US. My first cousin. . . who I just saw this morning. . . General Anthony Zinni , would disagree with your accounting. Balance is achieved with an open and unprejudiced heart, and a willingness to listen. We must all practice peace, and discourage misinformation being spread. Zinni is an Italian Catholic America married to an Irish/German Protestant American. Peace, Shalom, Slan.
