In my family we used to accuse grandpa of having a selective hearing and selective  he would hear what was convenient to hear and remember Only the Good times. It was his Way of brushing problems under the Rug. It caused problems for grandma who had a Strong voice and a Good memory. A the costs of International War Are never paid by Only one nation. The costs Are often borne by several nations. We have a tendency to remember Only the costs that were paid by our nation. We erect memorials to our War dead. But what of the other nations the horrors of War Are too easily brushed beneath the Rug when we remember our Cost and forget the Cost for others. Imagine three War memorials erected in Washington much like the Vietnam War memorial. One would be inscribed with the names of the fallen coalition men and women of the persian Gulf War. On the opposing Wall would be the names of the iraqi soldiers a third memorial would include the Cost paid by the environment. Would such a memorial make us weigh More carefully the costs of War in the future or do we like grandpa prefer our selective memory a the Rev. Denzel Nonhof Wurzburg Germany a a. Help our own first this letter is in response to operation provide Comfort. It we As soldiers in the . Army Are pr0l4 of the Effort put Forth by our Brothers and Sisters in the Gulf. However we Are concerned that for such a Glo Nous Victory we Are paying a High Price for the defeat of Iraq. Billions of dollars in food and Medicine Are being dropped continuously into areas where the kurd Are being forced to run by Saddam Hussein a army a a a a a a a a we understand the Effort but do not understand Why All of a sudden this Money is being put Forth for this operation when our own country has Home less and poor that we need to take care of first. \ v Are we ashamed of them How do you think they feel seeing All of this Money going to a people most of us have never heard of while their own children starve and freeze to death i think America needs to Wake up and see the country for what it really is. America needs to help her own before helping others. A spec. Howard l. Sides -.�?spec. Tracy it. Bosworth operation desert storm americans Are earing i am writing in response to the assorted columns that have been published recently in the stars and stripes about the kurdish and shiite problems in Iraq. 1 participated in desert storm and Ipen pals i am a 16-year-old turkish boy who Speaks English and German.

Hooper Ulah 04315 a a a i am 19 years old and would love to have pen pals am All too familiar with the plight of the refugees from the rebellion in Southern. Iraq. The mental anguish that the american Soldier gets from seeing these poor people is Only surpassed by the mental anguish and physical hardship of the refugees. However the reason i write to you is that i disagree with the political columnists on the . Decision not to intervene. A. A a. A True president Bush did advocate the internal overthrow of Saddam Hussein but he has been saying this very thing since the beginning of desert shield. A. A a a a. A so Why did no to the kurd and shiites rebel before the invasion of Iraq by the. Coalition forces internal rebellion in say january could have forced Saddam to operate on three fronts a the shiites in the South the kurd in the North and the coalition forces All Over. I truly believe that the Force of an internal rebellion and the external threat would have had the desired effect of splitting the iraqi armed forces to the Point of breaking. The aircraft dropping napalm today in Kirkuk Iraq would have been shot Down in late january. The tanks shooting at civilians in an Rasinya yesterday would have been easy prey for a los in Early february. My Point is that these rebels had a 45-Day window of Opportunity when we could have easily helped them. Bui they want us to help now after having attained our stated objective. Such action would be stepping Over the Bounds of the . Resolutions. I continue to Pray for these unfortunate individuals but i ask the columnists to not portray the american government As non caring individuals Over this Issue. �?1st it. To. Linzy Bamberg Germany resetting cards radio i brought an almost new Plymouth voyager minivan to Germany nearly two years ago. We have suffered along with the original equipment radio for that entire time without being Able to tune it to european band widths. I have now discovered much to the amazement of the cafes salesmen and the local Chrysler dealer that late Model Chrysler radios can be returned to european band widths. Here is the code for retuning turn the radio on and turn it on the pm band. Push the Button marked  then push the Button marked either a a sell a or  last push the no. 1 station Button five times in Quick succession. At this Point your radio will have done one of two things. If it is a radio with two knobs on it the radio will switch to the am band and display the frequency 540. Turning your tuning Button one Click to the right or left will show a frequency of 549 or 531. The pm band will now also be. Set for european band widths. If your radio has no knobs after pushing the no. 1 station Button five times the radio will turn itself off. When you push the Button to turn it Back on you will find it tuned to 531 am. The pm band will also be returned to european band widths. When you take the car Back to the United states follow the same proce a letters to the editor Dure and the radio will be returned to . Specifications. By the Way when you do the Alf amp Veall your preset stations and the time will have to be re entered. A David v. Keyes bad Godesberg Germany a a a a. A a a a a Correct past mistake i have to voice my disagreement with president Bush a decision not to help the kurd in their rebellion against Saddam Hussein. Wasny to or. Bush the one who asked the people of Iraq to overthrow Saddam i supported desert storm wholeheartedly but i protest How the United states has turned its Back while thousands of men women and children Are being slaughtered. We should not forget what Saddam did to the kurdish people in 1988,1 be Heve the kurd were counting on the United states to help but we let them Down. We created Saddam a military Power in the �?T80s. Let us Correct past mistakes now. A Susan c. Clutter Babenhausen Germany avoiding involvement. Those who criticize the administrations Lack of involvement in the internal iraqi crackdown should realize that it is an intentional avoidance of involve Niento with much forethought on the part of the administration. It reminds me of a similar ploy used by the soviets in world War ii when they stopped just Short of Warsaw to Landi and broadcast appeals to the Warsaw resistance to come out and Aid in the Quot liberation of that City. Once the fighters came out they were eradicated by the germans and Only when the wasps nest had been cleaned put did the soviets move in. The Appeal to the iraqi populace to. Rise up and fight and the sparing of the iraqi army both fall into place in this. Light. And indeed once the resistance has been cleaned out by the iraqi Arney the country As a while will be much easier to manage from the outside. A it. Col.
