I don't - really *don't* - have much if any time for the military, of any country (even though *my* father . . . etc.). And I am a dyed-in-the-wool pacifist. And I guess I would be less than honest if I didn't say right here and now that I spent part of my childhood dodging bombs and that it has probably warped me. Apologies for being such a pain the arse ;=) best, pat sant -- SANTBROWN townhounds/ Personal Webpage: http://www.angelfire.com/art/pendragon/ ---------- * " Until he extends the circle of compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace.
