Here's an excerpt from the letter:
"As the echo of the war drums fades away and the angry masses calling for blood slowly disperse, we as a nation must now confront the truth. We face the unpleasant reality of an uncertain future, compromised safety, a failing economy, and the question of how a society of otherwise reasonable citizens was systematically lied to and manipulated into backing the political 'hijacking' of Iraq. "Before a single bomb was ever dropped, some of us, formerly called the 'anti-American and unpatriotic,' have questioned or opposed this war. Now, each day, as the dust settles and the truth slowly surfaces, more and more people come to the inevitable conclusion of what a debacle this whole war was. "Thirty-nine-thousand bombs later, no weapons of mass destruction uncovered, no dangerous dictators captured, no connection to September 11th. What have we gained but relentless media coverage of a fallen statue and some stolen oil fields--the spoils of this misadventure. Not to mention lucrative corporate payoffs and an enormous price tag of over $80 Billion...some tax cut. "But what have we lost? We have lost the lives of over 300 Americans. Approximately two U.S. troop deaths each day, 193 deaths since the war was declared over. In total, an estimated 20,000 people have died, thus far, in this conflict." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1499&e=15&u=/launch/214927 |

We face the unpleasant reality of an uncertain future, compromised safety, The last time we were attacked was..............? 9/11. Seems like we're pursuing the right strategy, kill them before they get here. a failing economy, Rebounding nicely. John should stick to what he knows. the question of how a society of otherwise reasonable citizens was systematically lied to and manipulated into backing the political 'hijacking' of Iraq. More bull****. "Before a single bomb was ever dropped, some of us, formerly called the 'anti-American and unpatriotic,' have questioned or opposed this war. Where were they when we went to Kosovo? Where's the outrage about still being there? Now, each day, as the dust settles and the truth slowly surfaces, more and more people come to the inevitable conclusion of what a debacle this whole war was. Not the Iraqi people. Gallup polls show the majority of them want us there. "Thirty-nine-thousand bombs later, no weapons of mass destruction uncovered, Not true. no dangerous dictators captured, no connection to September 11th. Terrorist training camps???? What have we gained but relentless media coverage of a fallen statue and some stolen oil fields--the spoils of this misadventure. Stolen? By whom? The Arabs stole them from us and now they still have them. Not to mention lucrative corporate payoffs and an enormous price tag of over $80 Billion...some tax cut. Just like last time the economy is growing it's way out of debt. Now if we could get a big tax cut instead of the tiny one we've had we might really take off. "But what have we lost? We have lost the lives of over 300 Americans. Approximately two U.S. troop deaths each day, 193 deaths since the war was declared over. In total, an estimated 20,000 people have died, thus far, in this conflict." How many did Saddam kill? http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1499&e=15&u=/launch/214927 |

I was job hunting at the beginning of 2002. Went looking for "engineering,software", "EDP", "programming", "software engineers", "computer..." and the rest of the other titles for software development jobs. There wasn't ONE. Scanned the entire job ads from A to Z and there wasn't a single software development job ad. That was february 2002. In my 20 years experience, this has NEVER happened before. Even now there aren't 25% the listings there were in any given sunday from 1981 to 2001. |

The exportation of these lucrative jobs are a result of the crushing economic regulations U.S. companies face from the alphabet soup of government agencies. Who can blame U.S. companies for outsourcing these jobs to India when the salary cost for that India employee is less than just the Social Security payroll deduction of his American counterpart, and with no EPA or OSHA or whatnot to deal with, is it any wonder high-tech companies are doing just that?

Current BusinessWeek... first time in 42 years economic growth has increased while jobless figures rising. There are changes in the jobless demographics, too. Nearly half of all households are now headed by other than husban and wife. Medical cost are up 49% since 2000. The 80 Billion that has been allocated to war could have provided a start to nationalized health care like Canada. Local and state governments are deficit spending, too. California is often an indicator of national trends. Nothing "normal" about those indicators of economic well-being. If things are so bad, why has the value of my home gone up 50% this year? Values are good. It’s a buyer's market and days on the market are up, however. |

California is often an indicator of national trends. THere's a zillion economic stats out there. Anybody could pick any one to make a point. There is so much statistical analysis out there, that citing one is no more than providing anecdotal evidence. Think of all the social programs we could through money at if we went full throttle and actually abolished the military!

Compare to the current deficit as percentage of the GDP. It is not the biggest in history. It's the biggest dollar number true but not the biggest percentage of GDP which is how deficits have always been looked at in the past. |

In total, an estimated 20,000 people have died, thus far, in this conflict." http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=1499&e=15&u=/launch/214927 Interesting. Is the French wine still flow in Washington streets ? LOL ! Dumping French wine that we already bought from you is stupid, stupid, stupid. Agree with you. It requires sens of sacrifice... ...but less than for sending Boys in a such hostile country. Better to let Sadaam keep killing innocents? Most Americans don't think so. The French governemnt was obviously to afraid of what we'd find there. No French wine, they are muslims. ;O) |

Gentlemen,
Just a comment from a stupid French guy. Just to show you how Americans people from all politic are sometime far out of reality. The open letter which has been proposed focus on reasons of the war, how many people have been killed and how much money it will cost to USA and international community. And what you do now ? You are discussing about your job, the price of your houses, your stocks, the color of you feces... Your comfort. Just like if you are living on an island far from the rest of the world. Are you surprised now that more than half of the world population hate America ? ;-) |

Why don't you tell us all how grateful you are that we bailed your sorry, unprepared asses out of world war two, and then allowed you to join the United Nations despite the fact that half your facist, anti-semitic countrymen were intermittently shooting at us, and stealing our critical supplies from North Africa to Normandy? Cheering crowds in Paris! Right! They would have been cheering louder had we been marched under your wretched arch on the way to the death camps. The French are generally annoying clowns, and nothing more, saddled by an societal inferiority complex that makes gerg look borderline normal. |

So you start like a censor. Good, good. I am speaking about the present and you answer speaking about the past. I know what America has done in the past for Europe and precisely for France. I use to travel in France, I have seen all these graveyards in Somme and Normandie, does it help one of your boy in Irak ? I don't care what *you* are thinking about France. I'm just afraid about of *your* moronic attitude and his possible consequences for the rest of the world. It looks like Mr. John Mellencamp have the same preoccupation than me Concerning my potential inferiority complex, I cannot comment without having seen you before ! ![]() Something else, I hate the censors. **** you ! LOL |

Perfect example of how the French have never been able to tie past and present together. I know what America has done in the past for Europe and precisely for France. I use to travel in France, I have seen all these graveyards in Somme and Normandie, does it help one of your boy in Irak ? Quite a bit, I would say. French arrogance is exemplified by your refusal to see how our "boy in Irak" is helping you maybe even more than us. I don't care what *you* are thinking about France. I'm just afraid about of *your* moronic attitude and his possible consequences for the rest of the world. It looks like Mr. John Mellencamp have the same preoccupation than me Let me guess what comes next. Unempowered France will throw yet another little diplomatic hissey fit, with no greater forethought than punishing the US for some imagined spite to the image of French dignity. Concerning my potential inferiority complex, I cannot comment without having seen you before ! ![]() Then compare our space accomplishments with France's. Something else, I hate the censors. **** you ! LOL Sure you're French? No better cursing than that? Did you arrive via Algeria, as well? And maybe now would be a good time for you to defend the all-seeing French emigration policy? |

Ooops, I would like to add this.
I'm not like Trotsky, usually I don't care about contributor's real identity. Nicknames are sometime funny and bring information concerning interlocutor personality. For me now "Dogma4e" looks like a KKK's hood. Understand ? |

Put your ear against your screen... Ready ? So listen. "Death camps never existed. It's an hoax from American Jewish community." You understand now why I required your total discretion. |

You represent France perfectly. |
