Simpson attempting to protect herself is there a jury in America who could would believe Simpson capable of even the timings and ravings heard on the 911 tapes much less of Long term physical spouse abuse could Nicole Simpson have employed the a battered wife syndrome a and would anyone Beli Vei she had acted in self defense could she have received a fair trial had she killed Simpson instead of what actually happened a b. Latino ran Stein a Germany a. War not for a cheap Oil this is in response to the person who wrote to trash not Only american forces networks coverage of the a Day anniversary but also desert storm. World War ii happened More than 25 years before i was born. I had two grandfathers who fought in the War. Unfortunately one died when i was 3, and the other died when i Wasny to too interested in learning about what Hitler had done in Europe. Afna a coverage allowed me to see what those veterans went through and hear the stories that perhaps one of my grandfathers might have told me. As for desert storm being Over a cheap Oil a How would you feel had it been your baby who was thrown out of an incubator and allowed to die on a cold Cement floor How would you feel had it been your daughter or wife who had been Ripe by an iraqi Soldier  you want some help if someone came into your House and threw you out my husband was there for seven months and let me just say that All those close to him and Many other soldiers did not feel that desert storm was just for a cheap  i would also bet that the parents of the babies that died or the parents and spouses of those who were raped Felt that we were not there for a cheap  a Gabrielle Dubois. Mics ii Germany not serving i would like to comment on a a cafes gets bum rape july 7. How funny that the Only people who dare Back the army and air Force Exchange service work there. As a military family member stationed at Span Dahlem a Germany the largest in . Air forces in Europe our cafes facilities have not grown to accommodate our growing population. La fact they have decided to Cut. Hours. For example our Shoppe the hours Are 11 . To. 8 . What a the purpose How about jobs a $5 an hour is hardly a Job. It is slave labor for what they expect from their Empl paces. In fact if anyone wants to complain about rudeness and willingness to help what do you expect for s5 an hour lets get. Serious. Their dress code alone is enough to Swallow your whole paycheck Back into cafes. For what to help our military Community our Bowling Alley at Span Dahlem closes at 8 . So does Burger King. What is the Aero club skiing totally unheard of at Bur base. I am sick of hearing that cafes strives to keep prices Down. Its a Crock. A Jodilyn b. Silva Span Dahlem a German customers define service the writer of a a cafes gets bum rape july 7 exemplifies a the problem the army and if Force Exchange service has with her response a people who find shopping at cafes distasteful have the option of shopping on the  Inato a the problem the attitude a if you done to like it shop elsewhere permeates the exchanges Way of doing business. Can you imagine a a for profit business like Wal Mart telling its customers to shop elsewhere if they find Wal Mart a distasteful a cafes is a monopoly As is the commissary. They have a limited customer base controlled by base populations and Force structures. Because they do not compete Fri Custo Niers they do not have a True customer service orientation As is demonstrated by the repeated Call to a shop elsewhere if you done to like  that is not to say that the writer is not one of Many proud and professional cafes employees. However the letter writers personal professionalism and Pride does not erase the problems with cafes the writers inability to acknowledge customer problems with cafes exemplifies a fest customer service. Until cafes and the commissary learn that customer service is not what they define it to be but what the customer defines it to be cafes will continue to have problems with customers. A Ralph e.

Roti Iberg a diplomatic writer in Haiti As it was with Bosnia and North Korea president Clinton is turning for help to a world wary of a shifting . Leadership. Consensus repeatedly has been undermined by Loose rhetoric. . Warships sailed the Waters around Haiti last week and the president warned that Force remained an option if the Caribbean nations military leaders did no to surrender Power. Did he mean it this time or was this another Case of the administration placing too much Faith in the Power of. Its words it threatens action apparently believing that will be enough. Tell China it will lose Trade privileges if it does no to improve its human rights record. Threaten the serbs or the haitians or the somalis with . Military Power if they done to behave. A China did Little and retained most Lavord nation Trade status. Only p handful of bombs were used against bosnian serbs. And when Somalia proved Okay b. P., 1st my Lay. This out for you. Youre sitting on a great glory Here. You Lere the Only cop to get Clef to the Bronco pursn6 7he Chase. S flip flops make nations wary More costly than anticipated the United states pulled out. A foreign governments will understand that we May occasionally do things that they done to like a said Stephen Bosworth a former state department official who now is president of the .-Japan foundation. A after All their pleasure ii it not our goal a but what they find terribly frustrating and anxiety producing is their inability to predict where we re going to be on any Issue at any Given time a John Steinbruner director of foreign policy studies at the Brookings institution has a different fix on the problem saying that in most cases the administrations shifts on foreign policy Are in the right direction. A getting himself out of trouble certainly does no to Hurt Clinton a Steinbruner said. A a it a getting himself into trouble in the first place that does Hurt  obviously the world cannot ignore the United states. A Europe needs an America that plays a Central Rote in matters of euro Pean Security and at the same time America needs a Europe that assumes greater responsibility for itself and for International Security German Chancellor Helmut Kohl said during Clinton a visit. So far neither the United states nor its allies in Europe and Asia have found a Comfort level in today a chaotic world. In the Case of Haiti there seems even less Chance that the world will take up arms and join the United states in military action to restore ousted president Jean Bertrand Aristide to Power. Haiti is too close its refugee flow too threatening for fac United states to ignore events there Clinton conceded hemispheric support for an invasion is weak a they want any kind of unilateral action by the United slates to come Only As a last resort and they have reservations about it Quot Clinton said. A any action that we would take would be multilateral a said William Gray the administration special adviser on Haiti. So. Far the invasion partners Gray seeks have not stepped Forward.
