Also, the shattered bodies and minds of the wounded will be recovered soon. After all, things are going so well there after more than fours years. Of course, if we were the most powerful nation in the world and given a little competent leadership we could have wrapped this up long ago or not gone there to start with. But perhaps I am too much more optimistic than Mr. Bay. Fred Brown brown2902@juno.com 920 SW River DR, Dallas, OR 97338 (home) 503 623 3831 (cell) 506 510 4579
