That was a crude thread unworthy of Tiki Central from the very start, but it was your joke made explicity at the expense of 12 recently dead men which was particularly shocking. I understand your motives, though, and absolutely agree that a life is a life, no matter what nationality they are. Personally, I'd have been very very happy if the intial strikes had got Saddam, and no more action needed to be taken. Unfortunately that's not been the case, but am gratified that every effort seems to have been made to get Iraqis to surrender rather than die in the 'turkey shoots' of the last Gulf War, and that the bombs really do seem to be hitting non-residential buildings. Anyway, thanks again for your thoughts and no hard feelings, eh? Trader Woody
