[Rhodes22-list] Change of subject matter. From taxes to war.

[Richard and Sherry Day]

  I will chime in with an opinion on this thread since I feel this
supersedes, at the present, any euphoric feelings I have of sailing my
Rhodes. Please feel free to delete.
  I concur with Rummy.  I too, would like more definitive proof of Iraq's
mass weapons' of destructiveness.  We are on the cusp of sending our young
men and women to war.  I think we and they deserve more solid reasons to
possibly lose their lives.
  Many explanations can be/will be/are given to why this war is necessary.
I  personally feel that when the onion is peeled to the core oil shows it's
ugly head.
  When I go with this personal assumption I find it terribly sad.  With our
nation's high degree of scientific know-how and "chutzpa to get the job
done" we have an opportunity for our government to set up a full court press
to develop renewable fuels. This would, I feel, allow our nation (with out
loss of American lives) to tell the Middle East oil country's' to eat our
dust, for we're forging ahead and controlling our own destiny.
  In my mind President Bush has a gift horse in front of him.  His legacy
concerning the nation's push to create viable renewable fuels and it's
ramifications could be compared to John F. Kennedy's pledge to put a man on
the moon and it's spin-off technological benefits that followed.  Richard

We've been beating taxes around for several weeks now and I think it's time
to change of subject.
Our president appears to be on a course to send this country to war against
Irag and I for one don't believe that a good enough case has been made to
justify this action.
Sure, they tried to assassinate his Father and it was his Father that didn't
finish the job the first time we went in there, but is that enough reason to
go to war?
If Saddam and Irag have weapons of mass destruction as we claim they
do.......show me before you go to war. I don't think the case has been
proven
to me or to most of the other countries around this planet.
C'mon George, show me the beef.

Rummy
