What inflames me is not the Viola Tion of or. Kings civil rights or the possibility of the beatings being a. Daily motivated or Evert the fact that the attack was a Clear Case of police brutality. My Hartger is fuelled by the statements from los Angeles police chief Daryl of Gates who refuses to accept responsibility for his subordinates actions by claiming that the officers actions were not representative of his department. That statement is easily refuted backed by videotape evidence filmed at the scene which shows at least three of Gates s officers unashamedly involved in horrifying rated a acts Center stage in front of witnesses including California Highway patrolmen and nearby apartment tenants. -. A a. Chief Gates is plainly represented in his menus actions because they work directly for him. Also what could be More represents.

Order and Justice would be the immediate dismissal of chief Gates and All officers involved in the attack.

A Ashley Gillespie \ a Darmstadt Germany 5 stars for a via a it one recently in the Media there a been a great Deal of concern Over who will receive the fifth Star As far As generals Are concerned. Some people say it will be Gen. Colin Powell because he and his staff Are responsible for putting together the world s Best armed forces while others say Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf for his Brilliant masterminding of operation desert storm. Although both men Are Well deserving lets simply share the wealth give a Star to each Branch of our armed forces a army Navy air Force marines coast guard a that a five stars a and Call it a Day. A spec. Terry l. House Vicenza Italy paying for clip past to the author of Quot recognition of Black sacrifices sought Quot and Many other letters like it a i must agree that Blacks along with Many other minorities have suffered great indignities since their arrival in the new world and it is not right. L am also a great believer in the . Constitution and All of the amendments that have followed and i think that it takes an ignorant mind to cry racism every time things Don t go perfectly for a minority. Slavery and repression of ethnic minorities have been practice since biblical times and in just a Little More than 100 years this great country has begun to change things. Any one who believes changes like these can happen overnight is just Plain ignorant. 1 believe Blacks were wronged in the past. Even though 1 have not committed these wrongs Lam being made to pay for them through the Adverse effects that affirmative action has on the employment of White males. If everyone would just let things take their course maybe All would turn out Well these types of letters and beliefs Only Foster More hostilities toward minorities. A staff sgt Lawrence d.

A a sortie of the pictures and stories coming out of Kuwait about the tortures and killings Are absolutely horrific. A. A a a a i feel that a War crimes trial or an assassination is too Good for him. They should take him to Kuwait City and let him Loose in the streets unarmed and let the kuwaiti people do with him As they see fit. Let him experience firsthand what it was he had done to  of Kuwait. A Sherry l.

Trudeau for As Long As i can remember As he is a hard liner to say the least and on occasion quite funny but enough is enough a Quot a Quot. His cartoon depicting a female medic refusing to Load a wounded go due to her a Lack of upper body strength is enough to tick anyone off regardless of sex. I Challenge or.

Operation desert storm Kuwait not like n. Ireland l would like to reply to the individual who likened the iraqi occupation of Kuwait to the British presence in the Falkland islands and in Northern Ireland. The differences among these situations Are Clear if one examines them closely. In the Case of the Falkland Argentina a claim to the islands has always been tenuous at Best stemming a largely from geographic proximity. This Koukl be similar to Canada claiming Greenland or for that matter Iraq claiming  if one were to poll the falklands permanent residents one would find that the vast majority Are of British descent and w Ould prefer thank you very much to remain British. The Case of Northern Ireland is much More difficult. Although the trouble stems from a British occupation and colonization it occurred some 300 years ago and of the areas present population three fifths or so letters to the editor Are also of British descent. A simple British withdrawal might help right an ancient wrong but would do Little to help present problems especially since the Irish Republic could ill afford to maintain the social and welfare systems provided by the United kingdom. I have travelled quite a bit in Europe and have found the Irish scots and English alike to be shining examples of friendliness hospitality and Good manners. It is sad that among these wonderful people there lies such a troubled past. Oversimplified explanations however Are not the answer to their problems nor to any others in the world. Maj Colin m.

I knew at the time Cail up was possible and planned for it with my wife co workers and a savings account. Note that Money gained or. Lost was not a consideration for my being a reservist. I would gladly forego All my possessions to serve my country in time of need. A the thrust of my comments to or. Randy Mcclain during the 45-minute interview was just that a not the out of context quote that a it is costing me $ 100,000 to be  i Hope this clarifies the rather mercenary interpretation allowed by the  readers should be aware the Reserve medical corps especially the 45th station Hospital is ready to serve our country and her soldiers no matter what the personal Cost to support our units in the Field.

From the tone of the majors letter he appears to desire to remain ignorant rather than properly informed. He says that he wants a biased  does this mean he wants lies a he also proceeds to disparage civilians As Well As civilian run newspapers.
