I had turned off my computer, and gone to bed, when I remembered that I was
planning to write about this. ...I also heard on tv today, that Australia
had special operation forces deep inside Iraq. So, don't think you have been
completely overlooked. Thanks for your support!!! But, this doesn't mean
that I like this war. ...At this point all I can say, is that I hope Iraq
will be a much better place to live when the misery of war is over.

Why can't everybody just get along, and be nice!?!?
