Re: [casi] ... And why I will not



This guy has no knowledge of politics and he is totally out of touch.
Besides, he is anethical regarding his profession.  How would a doctor of
all people so strongly support the killing of possibly hundred of thousands
of innocent Iraqis just to change a regime?
