What kind of advice is telling someone your reaction? > How do you feel? > I FEEL LIKE FLAMIN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You think it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo easy to storm Beruit and grab some hostages out of a heavily guarded airplane? These Shiites consider it an honor to be martyrs for their beliefs, so you know the chances of staging a successful rescue (no American casualties) are very remote. For once Reagan appears to be exhibiting common sense, although he is motivated by his "teflon-preservation" instincts which nullifies any common sense as a real factor. Why is it so shameful to admit that a handful of religious hyper-zealots can hold our country at bay by preying on our love for our fellow countrymen? What will we show the world by attempting some macho ill-fated rescue attempt? We will reinforce beliefs that America is the hot-headed bully of international politics, willing to condemn our own citizens to exhibit our bravado. What I want to know is: Which Caribbean nation is Ronnie going to invade, to divert global attention from this recent mess? The preceding opinions are, in all likelihood, those of Todd Jones. However, these opinions will, in all certainty, bear scant resemblance to the opinions of SCI Systems, Inc., Mr. Jones' employer. ||||| || || [ O-O ] Todd Jones \ ^ / {decvax,akgua}!mcnc!rti-sel!scirtp!todd | _ | |___| FLAME ME IF YOU DARE!
