He is condoning the fact be Are bringing a water gun to a Rock fight which Only leads to nowhere at the Cost of american jives. But then i remember he did no to go to Vietnam. We just can to half invade a country and then expect them to exert More than a Token Effort to comply with policy they have ignored All along. The president spoke like a Leader the night before the half invasion but lost his resolve and grasped for straws when the moment of truth came v a. / we americans better buckle up and prepare for yet another tedious mini con flip that spends our Money kills our soldiers and settles nothing. Worst part is i voted for him. In a sorry. A ,-.����a staff sgt. Robert x. St like in Ciurlik a Turkey alarming problem once again i have returned to my room after the fire alarm in my dormitory deactivated. I am a resident of building 2413 on Ramstein a and i want to outline an ongoing problem in Hopes that Public awareness will help generate a solution. The building i live in is plagued with fire alarm problems. There Are Over 14 work orders in Possession of civil engineering requesting the repair of different components of the alarm system in this building. The sound of the alarm has become a common occurrence and is ignored by the vast majority of the residents. V it a a a a building 2413 currently houses approximately 266 military personnel. Regardless of what time of Day the alarm sounds no More than 30-40 people May be seen evacuating the building. In a reminded of the fable of the boy who cried Wolf. If the residents of this building con by the Washington Post it was a terrible Day in the Middle East on Friday on what should have been a shining Day for the hard earned award of a Nobel peace prize to chairman Yasser Arafat and israeli leaders Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres. Israeli soldiers stormed the West Bank hideout where Hamas the extremist islamic movement opposing an israeli palestinian peace was holding an israeli Corporal Nachshon Waxman to Ransom 200 Hamas prisoners from israeli prison. The. Hostage a would be rescuer and several terrorists were killed. It is easy to second guess prime minister Rabin for not waiting longer for a reply to his secret offer of a prisoner Exchange before turning to direct action. But that ignores not Only the difficulty of the circumstances but also the tremendous internal pressures playing in Israel around the search for peace. In the year before the september 1993 Tine to ignore the fire alarm As the townspeople ignored the boy a tragedy could easily occur. I do not blame the residents however. In fact i often ignore the alarm myself. Multiple requests have been made by the dorm manager to have the problem resolved. I have been told that the commanders of both the civil engineering Squadron and. The operations group Are aware of the. Problem but regardless of their awareness the problem has continued for Many months. In addition to the safety Hazard that exists due to the malfunction of the fire alarm it also impacts the morale of the individuals living in the building. The dorm manager has taken Steps to install a it itches of use by dorm residents. In fact the Kitchen is finished and ready for use by the residents except for one thing. Civil engineering will not install the elec Tricia connections necessary for it to operate because of the constant problems with the fire alarm system. Once again dormitory residents Are left at the Bottom of the list of priorities which has often brought Many to feel like second class citizens. Is it going to take an actual fire in this building resulting in injuries or even a loss of life before someone will take a serious look at this problem As a medical response team member and resident of this building i do not want to see my friends and neighbors carried away in body bags. We need a solution before its too late. Staff sgt. James a. Nash Ramstein a Germany and they could solve it and move of. In be been trying to have a child for five years now and been seen at military hospitals since 1992, and they still say Well put you on a waiting list after your referral. That a ridiculous for those who want to know and for those who have been trying for More than two years. What a the problem and Why done to we have options such As in Vitro All i want is to know if there is something wrong with me in conceiving children. Maybe they should Send those of us for whom they can to solve the problem to Walter Reed for More thorough exams. I thought the army was All for families \ a Ain be been told by two military doctors that if i want to i could skip the waiting list and pay 5,000 Marks to a German doctor who will do in Vitro. I can to figure. Out Why the civilian health and medical program of the uniformed services Champu s pay for infertility. A lot could be done and a lot More women could be off the waiting list and on the Way to a healthy life. Laura Aguirre Darmstadt Germany to our readers no help from military i have a complaint that needs recognition infertility in military spouses. Why do we get put on a waiting list we want children just the same As Active duty females. And they get seen before spouses. I feel that they need to get a grip on reality and Start doing something for cases Arentt that serious let us know what you think we encourage our readers a Espe daily those who have never submitted a Fetter a to write to us.

A shooting in Jerusalem and the kidnapping also in Israel proper on successive recent Days had heightened the israeli Public a misgivings about the Content of a Rabin dramatically warned the to confront its rival Hamas or face the Sid tracking of palestinian political Hopes. In the mourning it should not be forgotten that Arafat did not flinch. He accepted the Rabin Challenge set thousands of his police to scour for the hostage in at israeli insistence the Gaza autonomous area and arrested hundreds of Hamas activists. It turned out that the hostage had been hidden in a Village still occupied by Israel a further development that supports the demand for Extension of autonomy throughout the whole West Bank.
