European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 25, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Tuesday december 25, 1990 the stars and stripes a Page 11 a writer compares Gulf situation to Weij Ever since the United states sent troops to saudi Arabia i have heard the emotion filled cries of Quot no More Vic teams Quot the Only similarity that i Sec Between inc Vietnam War and a War in Iraq is that both Are military conflicts and people will die. Bui i see Many Many similarities Between Iraq s invasion of Kuwait and the prelude to the second world War. A few of our Young Servie members have decided shut their values do not allow them to fight in the persian Gulf. They say that the Only reason that the United states has sent troops there is to protect the Oil. They May he right when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia we did t help them. Nor did we help Korea or China when Japan invaded them America still did not help Poland Norway Belgium the Netherlands or France when they were attacked by Hitler. Up until dec. 6, 194many isolationist groups met throughout the United states arguing that the United states should not get involved in a foreign War. This All changed the next Day and Many of these people fought in Europe and Asia. A unless we learn from history we Are bound to repeat  should we wait until Saddam i Hussein has conquered the entire arabian Peninsula and threatens Israel before we act do we have to wait three years before we uncover Saddam s concentration Camps where he has been eliminating the a a undesirables a political dissenters. Kuril. Kuwaitis jews and whoever else he does t like our grandfathers and fathers fought and died to Stop aggression. They fought for something More precious than Oil. They fought for the Freedom and human dignity of others the same thing that our troops would fight for today in Iraq. If we had fought the germans in Czechoslovakia or Poland or the japanese in Korea or China millions of lives could have been saved. I would like to raise the impassioned plea Quot no More world War us a �?2nd it. Trace Dawson Shwab stall Germany. A no has Praise for women in Gulf 1 am an airman stationed somewhere in the deserts of saudi Arabia. The conditions. The heat crawling creatures flies training to name a few a Are a real Challenge for All the . Forces stationed Here. But the women stationed Here have a bigger Challenge than we men the local customs and Laws. The local customs and Laws require our women to go above and beyond the Call of duty for example they must give up their driving privilege buy Over garments to shop downtown and ride in the Back seat of a car. Yet the women have a fairly Good sense of humor and the morale seems to be fairly Good compared with the men Here. 1 strongly think the women should be commended by the military for disproving so far All the myths that a the female Soldier can t hold her own under pressure a rhe a a seeks go pen pals Many of us in alcoholics Anonymous want to correspond with armed forces members overseas or in the United states.

When he mentioned that he was taking her to lunch As a thank you for her help. I Wasny to concerned. Recently 1 was stunned by our Rhone Bill. Thinking there had to e an error 1 cheeked the computerized printout of the Calls made front our Home and noticed that most of them had been made during the Day White i worked my husband works the afternoon shift As Many As three Calls were made in a single Day to the same number. One Call lasted n9 minutes a Little detective work revealed that All the Calls were to this voting woman m a a a a a when 1 asked my husband about the Calls and he relationship he said they were just friends and not romantically or sexually involved tie refuses to Stop seeing her however and insists that i have no right to dictate to him. I maintain that he is endangering our marriage of nearly 10 years by putting his a Friendship Quot As he Calls if above our marriage. He thinks in a jealous. Am i mystified in Michigan dear Michigan a better word would be  but that a not the Issue. A Man does no to spend 89 minutes on the phone with a casual business mend. My Hunch is that your husband is not Only a Cheater but a liar As Well. Are you sure you want this character if you do get some counselling. It will enable you to let Utt steam and learn How to Deal with tills pain Tut situation. Harping Yelling sleuthing and accusing is not the Way to go. Your 10-year history adds up u a big advantage.

The annoyed wife wrote a the hangs around the Kitchen lifts lids and stirs the pots. This drives me up the  though it May seem an invasion of her territory she could Start right there to turn a liability into an asset. A a. In a Low key Way she could capitalize on his wanting to be with her and include him in nor cooking routine. For example she might ask a How does hat Gravy look is it too thin should i add a Little flour a or a would you mind keeping an Eye on the soup while 1 deaf with like biscuits a Little by Little she could teach him a few things and help him become interested in cooking. She might then ask him to be  few simple meals during the week. Later on she should try to interest him in regional cooking and get him to visit the areas.
