Amazing, with all those tests in the athmosphere! > I put in doubt Greenpeace being an organization for peace. Of course. After all that's what your government tells you... >Why then are they going to war against countries? When? Where? >In my opinion, you can only bring to the world the peace you have yourself, >in your own life. Yes, and that's exactly what Mitterand, Hernu etc. did and are still doing; but I do see some difference between mining a ship and peace. > This being said, it is not at all my intention to present the French >government or military as those who are right. Oh? >No, France *AND* Greenpeace are *both* wrong, they are both warmongers, Right: the former against, the latter for the environment where other people like you and me have to live in/with. >And in my opinion the Greepeace people are not *innocent*. No, a photographer indeed is a *very* dangerous and highly noxious person, at least to some governments; they sure must feel pretty comfortable one was killed.... -- Piet Beertema, CWI, Amsterdam (piet@mcvax.UUCP)
