Behr, UCSD > (sdcc6!ix654) No arguement when it comes to the situation internal to the two countries, maybe no arguement that RR has a concept of freedom in mind that is better than Q but that doesn't mean the effects aren't exactly the same: a lot of dying, some high sounding words, and the establishment of a dictatorship inside another soverign state. Not to mention the equation: feedom fighter = antisocialist, seems to be invoked all to often. They aren't always the same thing. -- -"Daphnia Dave" Fetrow Kludgemaster of CQS { ihnp4, fluke, microsof, tektronix }!uw-beaver!entropy!fetrow
