Honestly mark, you have been watching to many of Ronnie's Westerns.
You don't really believe that that the great U.S. Marines could just storm
into Beirut and rescued the hostages, do you? The only result from that
kind of action would be the deaths of the hostages, of marines, and of
innocent bystanders.
The only people who see U.S.A. as the world's big brother are you americains.
If you ever did some travelling into the third world you would find that the
United States along with the U.S.S.R. are two of the most hated countries in the world. I remember being told to state my country of origin as Canada and to never let people think that you are an americain.
You shouldn't find these statements to susprising, your governments policies in
Central and South America and the rest of the developing world do not tend to
make to many friends.
How do you expect a Nicaraguan women to accept your ideas of liberty and demo-
cracy when her only son is killed by U.S. supported right wing scum from the
Somoza era?

The main problem with the U.S.A. is that it wants to be in charge of the
whole damned world. You want to shove your psuedo-democracy down the
world's throat. The reason americains were held hostage by those 'barbaric`s
in the middle east' was because you stick your probing noses in other peoples
affairs, you are hated by other nations because of you lust for power, those
'barbaric`s' know that you want to be in charge and that is why they strike
out against you. This small group is trying to fight with a lumbering, festering
, cancerous giant and the only way they can do that is through the use of t
terror. The 'one of our own' that was killed was a marine, the most hated form
of Americain intervention. 'The Green Beret' is definitely not one of the
favorite songs of the third world.

Why the hell doesn't he! The old moose is standing tall, he wants Israel
to save the hostages and protect him from the press.
Why not blow up Beirut, lets all do our part to advance world hatred of the
U.S. of A. You americans are willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to get
to your goals.
It is my belief that American stands for AROGANCE!!!

When the Russians invade Afghanistan horror stories are thrust on us for years,
but when the U.S. of A. slaughters Nicaraguan citizens in order to protect their
business interests I have to turn to foriegn news sources like 'Le Devoir' to
read about it. Your media is eating out of the hand of the government.
