I am _always_ "anti-war". And "anti-violence". But unfortunately, at some point in time you have to stop, stand up, and take action you would rather avoid, in order to prevent even _greater_ problems later. Sometimes violence is the only solution. There is no "arrogance" in this, IMHO. > >And what do you get from al this?

As far as >I am concerned, it is time we get a REAL president in the U.S., somebody like >Roosevelt, who cares about *people* instead of money. Someone like Truman? Someone like Kennedy? Someone like Roosevelt? Someone like Lincoln. _all_ of them had to make the _same_ decision at some point. All made it. IE thank goodness for Truman or most of Europe would be speaking German today.
