Geez, John the UK ( together witha number of other European nations ) has been on the receiving end of terrorist action for longer than I can reasonably remember ! Well..... I *do* remember when I was a student, the signs in the London Underground saying *Beware of Bombs* ! We didn't feel the need to exact retribution whether proportionately or disproportionately and if we had done, I'm sure we'd have got it in the neck from the USA ! Look at how we sorted it over the Irish issue and learn ! > You'd rather have the non-US terrorists win because you don't want > us to go toe-to-toe with them and out-terrorist their slimeball > tactics? We don't want *any* terrorists to win ( except Irgun of course ) . Descending to their level means they have in a way 'won' though ! Graham

I doubt if they make much paper from nylon rags. The 'non-weenies' think they come from cotton trees and linen trees it seems. Graham
