>I whole heartedly agree with you about guns.  I don't think killing

>things worse.  I cannot think of an example of a despot being killed 
>that caused an improvement for the subjects.  Hitler would be the

>would have sued for peace but would things have changed much for the 
>people?  We will never know.

>I am currently reading a book on the first world war.  It is very

>The problem as I see it is for us, conservative, peace loving

>I agree with you, David.  I have yet to see real proof that Bin 
>Laden had anything to do with this.  Just because Bush wants to tell 
>us that Bin Laden and Hussein were behind it, doesn't make 
>it true.  Bin Laden and Hussein are/were horrible men, but I believe 
>there are plenty of others out there hell bent on making the lives 
>of U.S. citizens miserable.  I'm sure that these two men weren't 
>exactly sad to see the tragedy on our land, probably had big grins, 
>but I think we haven't enough tangible evidence to say Bin Laden was 
>behind it.  Those involved may have been Laden wannabes, but that 
>doesn't mean Bin Laden was the true mastermind.

>As for our right to carry guns to protect ourselves from a rogue 
>government, I'm not in favor of this at all.  Guns get into the 
>wrong hands and ultimately more innocent lives are lost as a result 
>of them.  I have no issues with those who hunt for food to feed 
>their families, but I do have issues with those who want a gun to 
>protect themselves from potential harm.  I've seen too many kids get 
>a hold of these guns because the supposed responsible adults 
>negligence in keeping them locked up away from them.
