Concerning U.S./Bush/Iraq

[dwitt1@satx.rr.com (dale witt)]

I agree with Scott....I can not imagine anyone not having strong feelings
and a certain amount of anxiety about all that
is going on at this time.  We all love our Sciroccos and this list has been
the backbone of supporting this "fixation".  Many
of us have been hanging around for some years now and have made
friends....Hell, here in Texas, we formed our own sub-
group (Texas Scirocco Team), we jokingly refer to ourselves as a support
group.  I don't like to see too much ot on the list,
however.....instead of getting "immature and pissy"....lets just remain
respectfull.  If you took the time to read this rambling,
thank you!!!!  I will now revert back to "lurk" mode.
