Really? NBC's News at Eleven showed a dozen or so (looking rather
pissed off) as opposed to about 100,000 (one of the more conservative
estimates) of the anti-war element. (Actually, your buddies did better
in L.A. - but not by much.) I think Americans can be proud of the
"anti" turnout, nationwide - if only the idiot in the White House was
paying attention!

... letter from home from a marine with the multinational force in


Bosnia:


Dear Dad,

A funny thing happened to me yesterday at Camp Bondsteel (Bosnia): A


French


army officer walked up to me in the PX, and told me he thought we
(Americans)were a bunch of cowboys and were going to provoke a war in


Iraq.


He said if such a thing happens, we wouldn't be able to count on the


support


of France.

I told him that it didn't surprise me. Since we had come to France's


rescue


in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War, their



ingratitude



and jealousy was due to surface [again] at some point in the near future
anyway.

I also told him that is why France is a third-rate military power with a
socialist economy and a bunch of pansies for soldiers. I additionally


told


him that America, being a nation of deeds and action, not words, would do
whatever it had to do, and France's support, if it ever came, was only



for



show anyway.

Just like in ALL NATO exercises, the US would shoulder 85% of the burden,
and provide 85% of the support, as evidenced by the fact that this French
officer was shopping in the American PX, and not the other way around.

He began to get belligerent at that point, and I told him if he would



like



to, I would meet him outside in front of the Burger King and whip his ass


in


front of the entire Multi-National Brigade East, thus demonstrating that
even the smallest American had more fight in him than the average


Frenchman.


He called me a barbarian cowboy and walked away in a huff.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Dad, tell Mom I love her,

Your loving daughter,

Mary Beth Johnson

The USA must really be a wealthy Nation because they can afford to install
