<DIV><FONT size=2>I read Mr Kinnear's message to mean that our fight =
is not
with the Afghani people but with the terrorists. The war =
needs to
be fought on many levels and Muslim public opinion is an important =
part.
A demonstration by the US that we have no quarrel with refugees who =
are now in
a very compromising position with the Taliban having confiscated food =
supplies
is a perfectly viable consideration. The Taliban's hold on =
Afghanistan
is tenuous and this may help to further deteriorate it. I don't =
equate
such a strategy with pacifism in the way you have suggested. =
Remember,
Ghandi said that if you see a man running down the street shooting =
people, the
pacifistic thing to do may be to kill him to prevent further harm to
others. The solution to this problem is obviously =
complex.
Remember also that the very thing we are fighting for is our ability =
to
express our opinions freely and engage in honest debate. =
Shouting people
down is rather, well, un-American. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Worth a read? Yes it is nice to know where the =

why don't you wake up to the reality of the times? Mr. Osama bin =

<DIV><FONT size=2>You forward a petition asking me to support your =

unrealistic, unwarranted ideas of pacifism in the face of enemy =
aggression

a war

this time
with our hearts, our minds and our dollars. Please pedal your =
petition
somewhere else, but make sure you do so out of earshot of the graves =
and
final resting places of those innocents fallen to the sword of evil. =
By the
way, have you given any consideration of the untold thousands =
who have
given their lives in the cause of freedom so that people like you =
