Ugh.
Isn't that what is happening now in the US?
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth is just going to leave the world with alot of blind, hungry people.

I don't want my country to get dragged into a war (and my pathetic excuse of a leader will be there lapping at George W's feet). I want the US to lead by example. To act with good sense and not get alot of innocent people killed because alot of innocent people were killed.

Is that too much to ask?

I thought that was God Bless America. However as I speak 6:00 am CDT, they are singing our National Anthem in England at St. Paul's Cathedral (I think, it is the same place where Diana's funeral was). So, you may be right, Puke, but watch CSPAN2 later today.

The Americanized tune is "My Country tis of Thee" So, they really were playing the National Anthem...I knew I wasn't nuts

Sorry, dogscoff, I didn't know that you already where quoting/replaying to me otherwise I would not have deleted my mail.
Right after my post I saw a comment that this comment was aired 25 years ago and as I didn't wanted to piss people off I did delete my post.

HEy dogscoff rememeber that the speach was written in 1973 by Gordon Sinclair ( Canadian ).

I think that is is not the time to be taking the piss at who built what but take the post on how it was. Rich04 posted this speach so others could seek comfort in it's words.
Nothing more nothing less.

Lets leave it at that.

P.S. I am not pissed off, but felt compelled to write this.

Take care dogscoff.
