Hi, mg--

I realize that the U.S.'s threat of war against Iraq is of worldwide concern--and rightly so. What can we do about it? U.S. citizens can write our Congressmen; I suppose anyone from anywhere could write to Pres. Bush.

I have received some letters of concern about a political thread being on AWADtalk; and given what has happened in the past here in those circumstances, I have to say I share the concern. War is indeed a huge event, and we humans to tend to want to discuss our worries with our friends and loved ones. Nonetheless, this place was set up to discuss language, and, given that no matter what anyone might say here about the Iraq situation it won't change a thing about it, I would like to ask that discussion be Private, so as to avoid another round of public animosity. Please.
