She has her own wing...we call it the 'North West Wing of the 'White House'....get it?? This includes her own full bathroom, cable tv, heat control, and bright windows on three sides etc. The Red Cross Homecare people come in twice a week to bath her. They were recommended by the hospital people after she recovered from the stroke she suffered two years ago. |

Apologies are not required. (I assume you know a cynical remark when you see it). Yes....trouble is, there's a sizeable group of characters in here who really do believe that psychology. I doubt there is anyone here who is happy about the Canadians getting killed. It was a damn shame. I'm sorry it happened, for both the Canadians and the pilots. Well, I imagine there is at least one or two here who *were* happy with the news. It gave them more ammunition in their 'hate the military' campaign. How do you know they never apologized? Do you mean to say they never 'publicly' apologized? -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." I wonder if that drunk Canadian boater from Leamington ever apologized to the families of the Americans he killed in a boating accident on the US side of Lake Erie a few years back? |

After all, you don't count the dead when Jesus is on your side." The US militart has declared itself 'above the law'. The pilot who disobeyed orders and attacked a Canadian unit, killing four with his bombs, lost a months pay. He has never apologized. Didn't you guys seize a sovereign ship not too long ago? Did they apologize for doing so? |
"HKrause" wrote in message ... I'm amazed you haven't filtered out Tuuk, Don. If you do, you'll only see a couple of his posts, and on a second-hand basis. Of course, you might enjoy reading the posts of our Thai psychopath. :] ** I always remembered that saying..'keep your friends close,but your enemies closer".** My mom died when she was in her early 80's, more than a decade ago, fortunately before she suffered any long debilitating illnesses. She was still driving her car around two weeks before she took ill and died. Unless she changed her driving habits in her old age, she must have been the terror of the Palm Beaches, because she had a lead foot. The sight of an 80-year-old grandma roaring down those streets...whew! When I visited her, I insisted on driving. That's a good life...was it Jan & Dean who sang 'Little Old Lady from Pasedina'? Neither mom nor dad had a drivers license their entire lives, and since mon turns 91 this fall, I doubt she ever will. :-) |

"WaIIy" wrote in message ... Didn't you guys seize a sovereign ship not too long ago? Are you referring to the contracted transport ship that had half our tanks, Coyotes, military vehicles, field pieces and threatened to hold them for ransom if we didn't ante up with more loonies...?/ Then...hell yes! |

"War is not healthy for children and other living things."
It's hypocritical to expect any armed force to behave in any manner that doesn't reflect the entire spectrum of personalities comprising the force itself. An unbalanced, homocidal, whack job who finds his or her way into the armed forces (and the vast majority of servicepeople cannot be so described) then becomes an unbalanced, homocidal, whack job with a gun, or a bomb, or a tank, or prison guard's uniform. The jerks killing off prisoners do not represent the military in general any more than the super-heroes who earn the Medal of Honor, etc. Most everybody is going to be somewhere between the two extremes, just like in "real life". |

Don, would it make a damn bit of difference to you? If they'd made a public apology, you'd be down on them 'cause it wasn't soon enough, or heartfelt enough, or not enough tears, or some damn thing. Do you really think they shot up a bunch of Canadians on purpose? -- John H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
