Well, you could look at it that way ... or, since there was virtually no publicity about the trip until it was over, and so far no huge fanfare after, you could see it as a pretty classy gesture ...<br><br>Up to you ;-)<br><br>***matt<br><br>Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise ...
Since it's you guys thanks giving, I wont comment on that. Have a happy TG! :)<br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

In politics, there are no real gestures of good will. There is only gain or loss but no pitty.<br><br>___________________________________________<br>I'm just another Mac user at an 8 hour day Dilbert style cubicle job....<br>

Maybe folks should be showing you the same "sensitivity" to your posts as you have to the GI's who were absolutely thrilled. <br> Happy Thanksgiving.<br><br>

<blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p> Happy Thanksgiving.<p><hr></blockquote><p>Did you notice the subject line? This is my opinion. I am not personally attacking anyone. In my opinion, for what it is worth, I do not think this gesture can correct the lie that brought the GI's there in the first place. If you want to argue, I am not going to, because I know the truth. If you want to speak ill of me, go ahead. I am often saying far worse things anyway.<br><br>

Political gain and goodwill don't have to be mutually exclusive - it's possible to so something that is both politically advantageous and the "right" thing to do ...<br><br>Kind of sad that you apparently can't recognize that =P<br><br>***matt<br><br>Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise ...
<br> Happy Thanksgiving.<br><br>
