[Air-l] peace

[Nils Zurawski]

  David,

at 2.10 am 3/20/2003 I am checking my email to find your posting.. 
which list approriate or not.. touched me... the deadline has passed 
and for weeks no one listened... to no protest to no official to no 
inspector... nada...  I am angry, fearful, outraged about this.... 
pro peace - certainly not a friend of Saddam... and his 
philantropists of earlier years... Reagan and Bush 1..... so yes the 
INternet has helped to spread the word, get people on the street... 
but did it really help to prevent the war .. or to rather blame it on 
them afterwards... I am not sure... we are certainly not anymore in 
the realm of the unknown.. but what did we win... sorry for the 
fatalism here...  when the first shot will be fired... collegues of 
mine will be getting a phone call to get their butts in gear to rush 
to the newsroom to cover the whole thing...online... as if somebody 
cares in Germany at this time of the day... I may be covering for 
them tommorrow... despite a week off..... so that is the Internet as 
well....   seem to have lost my clue here... anyway... I am with 
David, but sceptical if the INterent really does make a change.. or 
only for us... that we fell better...  disillusioned... nilz
