Yeah, the USA can be trusted, but only to do whatever is in its best interest. Galileio and Glonass refect others understanding of that. Bye. Jasen

Has it ever occurred to you that Islam has far more reason to fear the West than vice-versa ? Secularism is speading. I believe what we are seeing may be no more than a religious backlash against 'modern thought'. I rather feel it's dommed to fail. As a kid I recall it was unheard of not to be Christian. Now no-one even blinks an eye about it but I would like to see our first atheist Prime Minister though. Graham |
