I am not a pkg kurdish workers party fan it is a marxist terrorist organization. I am also not stupid. The turkish government has been lulling innocent kurd for years. We saw it in provide Comfort i when turkish soldiers shot kurdish refugees As they were trying to get food dropped by . Planes. And it happened again As the turkish army suppressed a kurdish protest with machine guns. The pkg is one of the kurd so last Hopes. I did say a one of because there a still the pesh Mirga the kurdish Freedom fighters. I wonder what the difference is Between a pkg Camp and a pesh Mirga Camp from a Jet. The Bottom line is if provide Comfort ii becomes a Large affair it will be hard and dangerous to work with the kurd face to face after we helped destroy their Hope. A sgt. 1st class chef incr Scot Bobingen Germany a Aidea simply ludicrous the Correct word is ludicrous. The headline on Page 5 of the april 3rd edition of the stars and stripes is . Seeks right to Kidnap  the Bush administration is arguing before its own judiciary for the right to go into another country and Kidnap one of its citizens and prosecute them m the United states for a crimes committed  if they win that would set an International precedent. This would mean that places like China North Korea Iraq Libya etc., would have the right to enter the United states and Kidnap a . Citizen and take him her Back to stand trial. I Don t think wed like that. But certainly it is ludicrous because they be already done it. Did a to the Bush administration Send in a Large military Force against a Sovereign nation specifically to Kidnap its president to bring him Back to the United states and he is now on trial for crimes committed abroad without the consent of the supreme court. A Robert d. Stevens Firth Germany editors note former panamanian Leader Manuel Antonio Noriega was convicted thursday in . District court in Miami on eight charges related to cocaine trafficking a school Story no Surprise i am writing about the article a teachers punished for allowing students to skip classroom tvs March 30. The Story  really Surprise me because i could Tell you some stories about some schools that would make your hair curl. In be been on recruiting duty and that is How i got educated on the different types of school systems and How they develop their curricula. In this Case about the students missing Cable one the teachers should be commended for their efforts in doing what they thought was right educating our Young people. 1 Hope to return to the classroom someday As a teacher. When was the last time you visited your children a classroom did you go during a Normal school Day you should. You would be surprised at what you see especially in private Public schools in the United tates. The Dodds facilities Are so much different and i say that with All my gratitude. They Are by far the Best. Why the funding the prerequisites for the faculty and the discipline from the Homes. Although the military is scaling Down we should look to the future of our children. We have a right that we in the military fail to utilize. Its probably a Good reason Why we Are taking it in the shorts when it comes to budget cuts and pay raises. We collectively need to exercise our rights especially our right to vote. A sgt. 1st class Paul j.

In 1980, my husband purchased a Home with a a loan in Colorado Springs Colo. A year later he sold the Home to a lawyer who assumed the a loan. In turn the lawyer sold the House to another person who let the loan become delinquent. We were never notified of the Sale or the account delinquency. Just 2vi years ago we were sent an $11,000 debt collection notice. We were also not Given the right to reclaim the property. It was auctioned off. We have been running circles the last 2vi years trying to get the notice excused. We have seen Many lawyers and written Many letters to a. I think we have been released from All debt but $1,000. We Are still working on it. We also cannot buy another Home with a because of this problem. Everyone should be aware when letting someone else assume your a loan. Sign a release of liability form before Selling. Done to learn the hard Way like we did. A Barbara l. Clintsman Hanau Germany ak-47 not for Hunting the writer fell off the Edge when he started defending the ak-47 As a Hunting weapon March 29. Please it is a military weapon and has about As much place in a Deer stand As dynamite has in a fishing boat. These weapons and the whole Stock of Macho War toys Are just that Macho War toys. We can argue the merits and social costs of having Battlefield weapons in the Homes of citizens. But done to try to make fun of or. James Brady because he does not know the Quot muzzle Power of the weapon. The valid Point is that it is difficult to mow Down people with a Bolt action .30-06. On the other hand the .30-06 in the hands of a skilled sportsman can humanely dispatch a Deer at a distance and do it safely. This is More than can be said of your semiautomatic status Symbol. The writer is Correct in stating that the Quot Brady Bill Falls Short of providing the citizens of America the Protection they need. Still it is a completely constitutional step toward allowing All americans a safer and Freer life. A it col. Richard of Bryant Heidelberg Germany a manhood not threatened Why is it that half of the anti gun control advocates writing in this oped Section Parrot what seems to be propaganda straight from the Era journals can to they think for themselves a recent letter a gun control not needed a stated that a gun registration is the first step in removing the threat from irresponsible politicians and bureaucrats when establishing totalitarian regimes. Is the writer implying that a Joe Bob redneck and his trusty Shotgun be a on Calls in Case his services Are needed god forbid guns kill and More and More frequently they Are killing fellow human beings. I believe that most gun control advocates do not want to arbitrarily deprive anyone of his or her a constitutional rights but Are Only seeking various approaches to control the Ever increasing violence plaguing our society. This May include some rational gun control Laws. So lets work together for common and attainable solutions to a very serious problem and not treat every proposal As a threat to our manhood.
