Co., Everett, Wash Lines: 14 As I read the various articles on this subject, it occurs to me that this healthy exchange of view points would not be possible under a typical Marxist government. I agree that war and bloodshed should be avoided when ever possible, but if the cost of avoiding such conflict is the the loss of personal freedom, my gut feel is,.. failure to try and stop that loss would be a far worse option in the long run. There seems to be a "peace at any price" attitude present in some articles and I dont think the authors of same realize how costly that could really be if individual freedom is the price. There may be better ways to handle these matters, but no action is not one of them, and any action will always be condemed by someone. Ken
