Gabriel says: > Finally, Dirk is surely aware that CASI has made no 'pro-war statements' and > I think it is disgraceful of him to make such baseless > allegations. Dirk said: No half-hearted and pro-war declarations like "CASI (...) took no position for or against the invasion of Iraq". I would imagine that Dirks statement was a careless one, as in he likely did not re-read what he had written and perhaps the statement above does not reflect his position. I think, sorry for speaking for Dirk, that he probably meant that the statement was a Half-hearted one from CASI, which is a sentiment that some, many, most of us would agree with. I am a huge fan of this service, CASI, but I am also sick of politics and am completely against the taking of lives, which of course is what WAR is. If I had had a say in the press release, it would have read: "we wholeheartedly condemn the aggression of the USUK emperium in their illegal, brutal, violent, sadistic, cowardly attack against the "PEOPLE" of Iraq. Saddam as far as I can tell got away completely, as did OBLaden. Back to point, lets periodically give each other the benefit of the doubt when our passions are running high. The vast majority of us opposed the war, the sanctions, and oppose the occupation. peacefully yours, Roger Stroope "the choice, non-violence or nonexistence" Austin College _______________________________________________ Sent via the discussion list of the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq.
