Eisenhauer, in a <A HREF="http://coursesa.matrix.msu.edu/~hst306/documents/indust.html" REL="nofollow">speech delivered in 1960</A>. As you can see, it was a cautionary statement. <BR/><BR/>This man, of course, was more than just the President of the United States. He was also a five star general in the American Army, serving in WWII as supreme commander of the Allied forces and later of NATO. As the speech suggests, no decision to go to war or not to go to war is ever easy.<BR/><BR/>If you really do have concern for the children of the world, now or in the future, perhaps you should learn a bit more about the fate of children under the Ba'athist dictatorship in Iraq. I'm putting together a post for my blog on that subject right now.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047342179137111486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4910502586465548474.post-43431854298983561172007-11-24T20:19:00.000-06:002007-11-24T20:19:00.000-06:00Ah, yes.

Cigarette smoking is endemic. Lung cancer rates sky high. Most of them are nowhere near a uranium mine.<BR/><BR/>My question to you is who has a vested interest in brainwashing young university students? <BR/><BR/>Are you a student of Jim Hardings? I noticed his name further down below in a previous entry of your blog. Is he still a card carrying member of the Communist Party? He should be the laughing stock of the country if he is. Do ya think he might have a bit of an agenda when it come to filling you full of cockamamie anti-corporation BS? Nah!! Impossible.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02047342179137111486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4910502586465548474.post-85147793489556499082007-11-22T00:20:00.000-06:002007-11-22T00:20:00.000-06:00I'm glad you voted Green, Billy.
