Re: VERY Uncalled For....

Joe,

I do not condone or condemn the war in Iraq, I have no positions on 
violent politics of this, or any other, nature. However, I think the 
comment by Art was not just in plain bad taste, but also something 
puerile, and even vicious. I can thank my stars that my relatives live 
further inland, but I have friends who have lost lives in this incident 
and I am shocked that there was no immediate condemnation of such a 
post.  I realize that today is a holiday, and not everybody is spending 
time in front of a computer, but I would not have expected such a 
asseting silence from a group of people, I thought of as intellectuals.

I wonder if the response would have been the same if the disaster being 
refered to was the dastardly attack on the WTC.

Or maybe, non-American lives, loves and emotions do not have much 
meaning on this list.
