Letters to the editor pen pals a motives of War protesters questioned now that America and her allies Are engaged in a War to bring a brutal dictator s reign to an end we see protesters both Here and in America speaking and acting out against the Gulf War. Perhaps those who feel the need to protest american policy a Ouid care to answer my questions. Where were your voices of protest when Saddam invaded Kuwait where were your banners deploring Saddam a use of chemical weapons against a undesirable citizens of Iraq Why were there no marches decrying the eight year War Between Iraq and Iran where were the lit candles for Israel attacked by Iraq without provocation. A a a a / a a a a a a. A a a a. I think the answer is simple. There is nothing to be gained by protesting against Iraq. You Only protest when issues suit your causes. Not even the stars and stripes would give you coverage f<5r protesting against Iraq. How Many of you Are prepared to pay an extra 1 to 2 Marks per liter of gasoline who will you protest against when you cannot afford to heat your Homes i am not saying you should not be protesting i am saying that you should be protesting with an informed brain and not a passionate heart. So the it next time you Are cruising Down the autobahn at 180 Kph toward your next rally take a moment and thank those Brave enough to take a stand to protect your rights and Way of life. A Irving j. Hummel ii Heidelberg Germany a a Soldier s wife says co status is misused i am an american wife of an american Soldier and i am furious i just read the article about the group in Niernberg the a a Sci help group of concerned most of these women Are not americans and idea what they Are talking about. _ according to my dictionary a conscientious objector is a person who a refuses to serve in the armed forces or to Bear if the husband or Boyfriend signed up to be in the armed forces they Are not nor were they Ever True conscientious objectors they used the military for personal gain Only. They trained to fire m-16 guns kill enemies etc., things a True objector never would have done. They Are All misusing this status. My husband joined for a a Job Only. It never entered our minds that there would actually be War nor did we want it. He has less than five years until he retires and to us this is a Nightmare. Like it or not if sent he will go. He wont try to Chicken out like All these other people. A i say Fine let these people out i done to want my husband going knowing these people who Are supposed to cover his Back May let him die. V a Nina Hinton Lan Stuhl Germany most germans Back . In Gulf writer says in conjunction with your reports about the Gulf War and anti War demonstrations in Germany that say that the German people Are against this War i want to get a message to your readers German demonstrators want to make the Public and especially the americans believe that the germans Are against this who is for War nobody i guess. But i want the american soldiers Here and in the Gulf and their families to know that most of the German people i spoke to a a a a a a a a a Quot so a a. Since Jan. 17 say this War is necessary because the problem could not be solved in any other Way. Just today to heard that someone found out that 81 percent of the germans think this War is necessary.
