[Rhodes22-list] Joke: Dear Abby

Fri Oct 29 13:14:37 EDT 2004

Bill
Now that is just plain rude.  Saldam was a craze
madman who used Chemical weapons on his own people. 
He torcher them, RAPED them, kept them on notice of
being killed at any time.  

Now this country when in there to liberate them.  That
is a noble deen.  To compare the Alomo fighter to some
terrorist; is just plain wrong.  

You are an ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!  and without class of any
kind.  This is a great country and we do good deed all
over the world.  I only hope that the next terrorist
atack is in your backyard and with your family.  Then
you might realize what this country is trying to do to
help not only our citizens but also the greater good
of the world.
