Any others?

Please read Brother Scanlan’s message posted on the College’s website reported in News1.

An unconfirmed reprt has been made that William Mulderry (class of '84?) is missing. Can anyone confirm or refute that?

I took the liberty of pushing out the casualty list to all the email addresses that I have ever had. I didn’t have the resources to sanitize the list with current subscribers so I ask your understanding. Of the approximately 8,200 emails sent out I received 2 gripes and 1 enraged response. I’ll chalk that one up to experience that there’s always someone who objects to anyone doing anything.

I have managed to find time to update free web site with Jottings. I am creating a list of those who want the URL to the weekly issue when I get it there. Drop me a line and I can add you to that list and / or drop you from the full text email.

Anyone interested in a cdrom compilation of Jasper Jottings?

My fax number is 781-723-7975. But email is easier for me to handle.

ALL BOILER PLATE is at the end.

Signing off for this week.

Doesn’t any one else find it strange that we now have a “Department of Homeland Defense” and a “Defense Department”? As a Libertarian, I love it when politicians think that we are not looking because then we see their true abilities, tendencies, and motivations. Now you don’t have to be a Business Process Reengineering genius nor a guru of the capability of Doctor Demming to spot that there is just a little bit of duplication going on here. I have been accused of being an isolationist but I would be dropping something on Afghanistan. How about some food? Have you seen the pictures of this place? Are we our brothers keeper? The popular inet joke going around has to do with educating the Afghan women. Sounds like a good idea to me. Let’s expend some effort to put education, food, and job creation into the refugee camps. Oh, and on their way out, let’s give each women a derringer. Under that garb, who knows what they are packing. Certainly will make it entertaining when some bozo tries to execute a women in the soccer stadium and gets a round back first. Finally, war is defined as conflict between two states. So what is this “war on terrorism”? But, then I never understood the “war on drugs” either. Watch your liberties! A lot of people will have to die to get them back once they are lost. IMHO

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

NEARLY 6,500 PEOPLE are missing, dead or presumed dead in the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 against the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and in the downing of United Flight93 in Pennsylvania. Here are more of their stories. No Matter What,

Firefighter Was 'Never Without a Smile' Bridie Regan, 70, of Bayside came home one day to find a new front door on her home. She hadn't asked for one, but she was pretty sure she knew who installed it. "Bobby could do anything with his hands," she said of her son Lt. Robert Regan, of Ladder 118, Engine 205, in Brooklyn Heights. "He used to take apart and rebuild washing machines for neighbors. Anytime we needed someone handy, we'd call Bobby." The month after Regan put in the door, he returned with a gold nameplate that he insisted his mother put on the door. "I don't know how he got so good with his hands," said Regan's brother Kevin of Floral Park. "We grew up in the same house, and I can't even screw in a nail. You can't screw in a nail, can you?" Robert Regan grew up in Briarwood, Queens, and graduated from Archbishop Molloy High School there in 1971. He received his bachelor's degree in civil engineering from Manhattan College in 1975. For 10 years he would help to build bridges and buildings. His career would keep him away from home for extended periods, something he found especially difficult after the birth of his first daughter, Caitlin, in 1985, said his wife, Donna. "He couldn't stand to be away from his family," she said. Torn between his career and his family, Regan made a decision: He became a firefighter. Regan joined the New York Fire Department in 1985. "When my husband joined the fire department, they told him that he'd never be rich, but he would be happy," his wife said. "And he was. People always said Bobby was never without a smile. And what a smile." Regan would spend much of his free time with his children - coaching his son Brendan's Little League team or planning a surprise birthday party for his daughter. Regan was last heard from Sept. 10, sometime after 9 p.m., his wife said. "He called to say goodnight to his kids and to me," she said. He worked the overnight shift and is believed to be among the firefighters lost at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. In addition to his wife, children, mother, and brother, Regan is survived by another brother, Peter, of Flushing. A memorial service is scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. at Our Lady of Victory Roman Catholic Church in Floral Park.

HEADLINE: AMERICA'S ORDEAL; 'Baseball Was His First Love'
BYLINE: By Rhoda Amon; STAFF WRITER

Joseph Coppo could have made the majors; he was that good a pitcher. Drafted by the Cincinnati Reds out of Maria Regina High School in Uniondale, he chose instead to go to college, marry, father four children and coach his sons on championship teams.

He would not have had it any other way, those closest to him said. "He lived for baseball," said Patricia Coppo, his wife. "His sons loved having their father as coach. He would even volunteer to coach teams that his children were not on. Our children were the most important in the world to him."

Coppo, 47, died on the 104th floor when the first hijacked plane struck Tower One of the World Trade Center. He was vice president for municipal bonds with Cantor Fitzgerald over the past year.

Raised in Baldwin, he had specialized in California municipal bonds and had previously been a partner in Municipal Partners. He lived with his family in Los Angeles and San Francisco for 13 years before settling in New Canaan, Conn., seven years ago.

"Joe was the heart and soul of New Canaan youth sports," said his friend and fellow coach Dick McRedmond.

Coppo's team in the Babe Ruth League for 13-year-olds won the championship this year, besting 22 teams from six Connecticut towns, and Coppo went on to coach the all-star team. Both teams of 13-year-olds came in their jerseys for a memorial Mass for their coach at St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church in New Canaan on Sept. 22.

The New Canaan Basketball Association, which Coppo helped found, has renamed its tournament the Joe Coppo Kickoff Tournament, McRedmond said. "But baseball was his first love. He knew baseball inside out, and he had the right perspective. He wanted the boys to learn to play baseball and have fun at the same time. He never put pressure on them to win."

More than 1,500 turned up for the service, Patricia said. "All four children spoke about their father to standing ovations. He was loved by many," she said.

After learning about the first plane crash, she called her husband at his office, but got no answer, she said. She could not bear to watch the scene on television, she said.

The former Patricia Brennan of Syracuse plans to continue to be a stay-at-home mom, deeply involved in community activities, as her husband would have wanted. A daughter, Kathleen, 22, attends Fairfield College, and a son, Joseph, 20, is at Boston College. The other sons are Matthew, 18, and John, 13.

Coppo graduated in 1975 from Manhattan College, where he was captain of the baseball team. His mother, Eugenia, lives in Baldwin, and a sister and brother-in-law, Mary and Hal Anderson, live in West Islip.

BYLINE: MICHELLE HAN

Before his son was born, Joseph Francis Holland III would direct his singing toward his wife's growing belly.

"You are the sunshine of my life," went the lyrics to his favorite song. "That's why I'll always be around . . . " Ten days after his first child was born, Holland, 32, was killed in the attack on the World Trade Center. His family buried him after a funeral Sept. 21. "He was thrilled to be a father," said Ellen Mahoney, Holland's mother-in-law. "That was his future. " "He did the whole talking-to-the-baby thing," Kathy Holland said of her husband's involvement in her pregnancy. He also went to Lamaze classes with his wife to be ready for the big day.

After Joseph Francis Holland IV was born Sept. 1, Holland took a week off from his job as a broker with Carr Futures to stay home with his wife and new son.

When he returned to work Sept. 10, Holland proudly handed out cigars at the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Joseph and Kathy Holland, who met in 1992, had moved to a blue, raised ranch home in Glen Rock from Manhattan's East Side two years ago.

They took up golf -- including a trip to Hilton Head, S.C., this spring -- and were settling into the rhythms of life in the suburbs.

Holland was described as the person in the group who would make everyone else laugh with his sharp insight and quick wit. "You could be having dinner or arranging flowers or whatever and he would find something funny to say," Mahoney said.

A native of the Bronx, Holland graduated from Bronx High School of Science and Manhattan College, after which he went to work on the exchange.

Focused and successful in his work, Holland was also an avid sports fan. He liked the Dallas Cowboys and held season tickets for his favorite baseball team, the Yankees. He had recently purchased a miniature Yankees cap for his newborn son.

He also leaves behind a mother and a sister in Yonkers, N.Y., and a father, brother, and sister in Florida.

Kathy Holland hasn't thought about how she will describe him to their son, who, at less than a month old resembles his father more than his mother. But she's fairly certain little Joseph heard his dad's voice when he sang to him before he was born.

"You are the apple of my eye," continues the song, by Stevie Wonder. "Forever you'll stay in my heart. "

WTC Deceased: Antonio Rocha, 34, Bond Broker, Cantor Fitzgerald

By Patrick Chu

New York, Sept. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Antonio A. Rocha, 34, bond broker, Cantor Fitzgerald LP.

Rocha joined Cantor in June from Garban Securities. Both firms were in the north tower of the World Trade Center.

He called his wife Marilyn from his office during the Sept. 11 attack and told her not to worry; that he would escape, the Newark Star-Ledger reported. The call was cut off moments later.

Rocha was born in Portugal and moved to New York in 1970. He graduated from Manhattan College in 1990. He lived in East Hanover, New Jersey.

He is survived by his wife Marilyn; children Alyssa and Ethan; parents Augusto Nunes and Rosa Correia Rocha; and brother Jason.

Memorial services were held last week at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, New Jersey.

His family requests donations in Rocha's name be made to the American Red Cross.

MEN'S SOCCER BEATS MARIST 1-0
Freshman Matthew Salotti Scores Game-Winning Goal

RIVERDALE, NY - The Manhattan College men's soccer team beat Marist, the defending Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Champions, 1-0 in a crucial MAAC game Tuesday afternoon.

With the win Manhattan improves to 3-4-1, 1-2 MAAC, while Marist drops to 5-3, 0-1 MAAC.

Both teams played solid defense resulting in a 0-0 tie at the end of the first half. Manhattan freshman Matthew Salotti (Fairfield, NJ) scored his third goal of the season, and first game-winning goal of his collegiate career, at the 51:57 mark by flicking the ball from ten yards out just past the diving Marist goalkeeper. Junior Jonathan Rowe (Dunedin, New Zealand) assisted Salotti's goal for his third assist of the year.

Marist goalkeeper Carlos DeBrito (Union, NJ) recorded four key saves for the Red Foxes.

FREDERICK NAMED MAAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Senior Co-Captain Notches Career-High Against Quinnipiac

RIVERDALE, NY – Senior co-captain Kim Frederick (Orange, CA) was named Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Volleyball Player of the Week, it was announced by the conference office today. This is the third time in her career that Frederick has received the honor.

Subject: Your 9/30/2001 issue

John,

I'm not sure arming pilots is the answer, but I do support the second amendment. We lived through the LA riots and never felt so helpless. We were locked down in curfew for four night while the national guard kept watch at the nearby mall. The local police were riding four to a car and randomly stopping any motorist who didn't live in our city. There wasn't much they could do. They were out numbered. It took some Korean merchants defending their businesses to help settle things down. The government can't protect us. We need to be able to protect ourselves.

[JR: We should never be defenseless. When I was listen to crime reports, I think about what would be different if the victim was armed. Perhaps, bystanders would be more likely to help if they were armed. It takes more courage to stand up when all you have is your fists. Our prisons turn out bigger, physically stronger, and “bad-der” criminals. The Second Ammendment levels the playing field. Maybe I am a butt-in-s-key, but I trust the average American citizen to do the right thing. I am, or was and will be again, in the business of talking about risk / reward, cost / benefit, and compensating controls. I am not defenseless when I am in my home and would like to be secure when I am out and about. Creating gun free zones, disarming citizens, and dial 911 are all more of the governments “feel safe” propaganda. After the riots I hoped you got prepared for the next time.]

I am so sorry to see that list with more on the way....what a sin!!! I am very fortunate that I don't know anyone (so far) that perished. My prayers go out to everyone and my God bless.

Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani
Opening Remarks to the United Nations General Assembly
Special Session on Terrorism
Monday, October 1st, 2001

As Delivered

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you, President of the General Assembly Dr. Han Seung-Soo. Thank you, Secretary General Kofi Annan.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to speak, and for the consideration you've shown the City in putting off your General Session. As I explained to the Secretary General and the President of the General Assembly, our City is now open, and any time we can arrange it, we look forward to having your heads of state and your foreign ministers here for that session.

On September 11th 2001, New York City - the most diverse City in the world - was viciously attacked in an unprovoked act of war. More than five thousand innocent men, women, and children of every race, religion, and ethnicity are lost. Among these were people from 80 different nations. To their representatives here today, I offer my condolences to you as well on behalf of all New Yorkers who share this loss with you. This was the deadliest terrorist attack in history. It claimed more lives than Pearl Harbor or D-Day.

This was not just an attack on the City of New York or on the United States of America. It was an attack on the very idea of a free, inclusive, and civil society.

It was a direct assault on the founding principles of the United Nations itself. The Preamble to the U.N. Charter states that this organization exists "to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person...to practice tolerance and live together in peace as good neighbors…[and] to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security."

Indeed, this vicious attack places in jeopardy the whole purpose of the United Nations.

Terrorism is based on the persistent and deliberate violation of fundamental human rights. With bullets and bombs - and now with hijacked airplanes - terrorists deny the dignity of human life. Terrorism preys particularly on cultures and communities that practice openness and tolerance. Their targeting of innocent civilians mocks the efforts of those who seek to live together in peace as neighbors. It defies the very notion of being a neighbor.

This massive attack was intended to break our spirit. It has not done that. It has made us stronger, more determined and more resolved.

The bravery of our firefighters, our police officers, our emergency workers, and civilians we may never learn of, in saving over 25,000 lives that day - carrying out the most effective rescue operation in our history - inspires all of us. I am very honored to have with me, as their representative, the Fire Commissioner of New York City, Tom Von Essen, and the Police Commissioner of New York City, Bernard Kerik. [Applause]

The determination, resolve, and leadership of President George W. Bush has unified America and all decent men and women around the world.

The response of many of your nations - your leaders and people - spontaneously demonstrating in the days after the attack your support for New York and America, and your understanding of what needs to be done to remove the threat of terrorism, gives us great, great hope that we will prevail.

The strength of America's response, please understand, flows from the principles upon which we stand.

Americans are not a single ethnic group.

Americans are not of one race or one religion.

Americans emerge from all your nations.

We are defined as Americans by our beliefs - not by our ethnic origins, our race or our religion. Our beliefs in religious freedom, political freedom, and economic freedom - that's what makes an American. Our belief in democracy, the rule of law, and respect for human life - that's how you become an American. It is these very principles - and the opportunities these principles give to so many to create a better life for themselves and their families - that make America, and New York, a "shining city on a hill."

There is no nation, and no City, in the history of the world that has seen more immigrants, in less time, than America. People continue to come here in large numbers to seek freedom, opportunity, decency, and civility.

Each of your nations - I am certain - has contributed citizens to the United States and to New York. I believe I can take every one of you someplace in New York City, where you can find someone from your country, someone from your village or town, that speaks your language and practices your religion. In each of your lands there are many who are Americans in spirit, by virtue of their commitment to our shared principles.

It is tragic and perverse that it is because of these very principles - particularly our religious, political and economic freedoms - that we find ourselves under attack by terrorists.

Our freedom threatens them, because they know that if our ideas of freedom gain a foothold among their people it will destroy their power. So they strike out against us to keep those ideas from reaching their people.

The best long-term deterrent to terrorism - obviously - is the spread of our principles of freedom, democracy, the rule of law, and respect for human life. The more that spreads around the globe, the safer we will all be. These are very powerful ideas and once they gain a foothold, they cannot be stopped.

In fact, the rise that we have seen in terrorism and terrorist groups, I believe, is in no small measure a response to the spread of these ideas of freedom and democracy to many nations, particularly over the past 15 years.

The terrorists have no ideas or ideals with which to combat freedom and democracy. So their only defense is to strike out against innocent civilians, destroying human life in massive numbers and hoping to deter all of us from our pursuit and expansion of freedom.

But the long-term deterrent of spreading our ideals throughout the world is just not enough, and may never be realized, if we do not act - and act together - to remove the clear and present danger posed by terrorism and terrorists.

The United Nations must hold accountable any country that supports or condones terrorism, otherwise you will fail in your primary mission as peacekeeper.

It must ostracize any nation that supports terrorism.

It must isolate any nation that remains neutral in the fight against terrorism.

Now is the time, in the words of the UN Charter, "to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security." This is not a time for further study or vague directives. The evidence of terrorism's brutality and inhumanity - of its contempt for life and the concept of peace - is lying beneath the rubble of the World Trade Center less than two miles from where we meet today.

Look at that destruction, that massive, senseless, cruel loss of human life…and then I ask you to look in your hearts and recognize that there is no room for neutrality on the issue of terrorism. You're either with civilization or with terrorists.

On one side is democracy, the rule of law, and respect for human life; on the other is tyranny, arbitrary executions, and mass murder.

We're right and they're wrong. It's as simple as that.

And by that I mean that America and its allies are right about democracy, about religious, political, and economic freedom.

The terrorists are wrong, and in fact evil, in their mass destruction of human life in the name of addressing alleged injustices.

Let those who say that we must understand the reasons for terrorism come with me to the thousands of funerals we are having in New York City and explain those insane, maniacal reasons to the children who will grow up without fathers and mothers, to the parents who have had their children ripped from them for no reason at all.

Instead, I ask each of you to allow me to say at those funerals that your nation stands with America in making a solemn promise and pledge that we will achieve unconditional victory over terrorism and terrorists.

There is no excuse for mass murder, just as there is no excuse for genocide. Those who practice terrorism - murdering or victimizing innocent civilians - lose any right to have their cause understood by decent people and lawful nations.

On this issue - terrorism - the United Nations must draw a line. The era of moral relativism between those who practice or condone terrorism, and those nations who stand up against it, must end. Moral relativism does not have a place in this discussion and debate.

There is no moral way to sympathize with grossly immoral actions. And by trying to do that, unfortunately, a fertile field has been created in which terrorism has grown.

The best and most practical way to promote peace is to stand up to terror and intimidation. The Security Council's unanimous passage of Resolution 1373, adopting wide ranging anti-terrorism measures in the international community is a very good first step. It's necessary to establish accountability for the subsidizing of terrorism.

As a former United States Attorney, I am particularly encouraged that the UN has answered President Bush's call to cut terrorists off from their money and their funding. It's enormously important. We've done that successfully with organized crime groups in America. By taking away their ability to mass large amounts of money, you take away their ability to have others carry on their functioning for them, even if they are removed, arrested, prosecuted, or eliminated through war or through law enforcement. It cuts off the life-blood of the organization. So I believe this is a very good first step.

But now it's up to the member states to enforce this and other aspects of the resolution, and for the United Nations to enforce these new mechanisms to take the financial base away from the terrorists. Take away their money, take away their access to money, and you reduce their ability to carry out complex missions.

Each of you is sitting in this room because of your country's commitment to being part of the family of nations. We need to unite as a family as never before - across all our differences, in recognition of the fact that the United Nations stands for the proposition that human beings we have more in common than divides us.

If you need to be reminded of this, you don't need to look very far. Just go outside for a walk in the streets and parks of New York City. You can't walk a block in New York City without seeing somebody that looks different than you, acts different than you, talks different than you, believes different than you. If you grow up in New York City, you learn that. And if you're an intelligent or decent person, you learn that all those differences are nothing in comparison to the things that unite us.

We are a City of immigrants - unlike any other City - within a nation of immigrants. Like the victims of the World Trade Center attack, we are of every race, religion, and ethnicity. Our diversity has always been our greatest source of strength. It's the thing that renews us and revives us in every generation - our openness to new people from all over the world.

So from the first day of this attack, an attack on New York and America, and I believe an attack on the basic principles that underlie this organization, I have told the people of New York that we should not allow this to divide us, because then we would really lose what this City is all about. We have very strong and vibrant Arab and Muslim communities in New York City. They are an equally important part of the life of our City. We respect their religious beliefs. We respect everybody's religious beliefs - that's what America's about, that's what New York City is about. I have urged New Yorkers not to engage in any form of group blame or group hatred. This is exactly the evil that we are confronting with these terrorists. And if we are going to prevail over terror, our ideals, principles, and values must transcend all forms of prejudice. This is a very important part of the struggle against terrorism.

This is not a dispute between religions or ethnic groups. All religions, all decent people, are united in their desire to achieve peace, and understand that we have to eliminate terrorism. We're not divided about this.

There have been many days in New York when I was running for Mayor, and then since I've been Mayor, when I would have a weekend in which I would go to a mosque on Friday, and a synagogue on Saturday, and a church - sometimes two churches - on a Sunday. And by the time I finished, I would say to myself, 'I know that we're through to God.' We're talking to him in every language that He understands, we're using every liturgy that exists, and I know that we getting through to the same God, even though we may be doing it in slightly different ways. God is known by many different names and many different traditions, but identified by one consistent feeling, love. Love for humanity, particularly love for our children. Love does eventually conquer hate, but it needs our help. Good intentions alone are not enough to conquer evil.

Remember British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who - armed only with good intentions - negotiated with the Nazis and emerged hopeful that he had achieved peace in his time. Hitler's wave of terror was only encouraged by these attempts at appeasement. At the cost of millions of lives, we learned that words - though important - are not enough to guarantee peace. It is action alone that counts.

For the UN, and individual nations, decisive action is needed to stop terrorism from ever orphaning another child.

That's for nations. For individuals, the most effective course of action they can take to aid our recovery is to be determined to go ahead with their lives. We can't let terrorists change the way we live - otherwise they will have succeeded.

In some ways, the resilience of life in New York City is the ultimate sign of defiance to terrorism. We call ourselves the Capital of the World in large part because we are the most diverse City in the world, home to the United Nations. The spirit of unity amid all our diversity has never been stronger.

On Saturday Night I walked through Times Square, it was crowded, it was bright, it was lively. Thousands of people were visiting from all parts of the United States and all parts of the world. And many of them came up to me and shook my hand and patted me on the back and said, "We're here because we want to show our support for the City of New York." And that's why there has never been a better time to come to New York City.

I say to people across the country and around the world: if you were planning to come to New York sometime in the future, come here now. Come to enjoy our thousands of restaurants, museums, theaters, sporting events, and shopping...but also come to take a stand against terrorism.

We need to heed the words of a hymn that I, and the Police Commissioner, and the Fire Commissioner, have heard at the many funerals and memorial services that we've gone to in the last two weeks. The hymn begins, "Be Not Afraid."

Freedom from Fear is a basic human right. We need to reassert our right to live free from fear with greater confidence and determination than ever before…here in New York City…across America…and around the World. With one clear voice, unanimously, we need to say that we will not give in to terrorism.

Surrounded by our friends of every faith, we know that this is not a clash of civilizations; it is a conflict between murderers and humanity.

This is not a question of retaliation or revenge. It is a matter of justice leading to peace. The only acceptable result is the complete and total eradication of terrorism.

New Yorkers are strong and resilient. We are unified. And we will not yield to terror. We do not let fear make our decisions for us.

We choose to live in freedom.

Thank you, and God bless you.

Alive and well. We have somewhat limited TV viewing here in English but I could not believe my eyes on the recent attacks.

Good Morning, John:

1. How in God’s name did that COL. USAF, ever get to be a COL. ? He really is not bright enough even to be a private if he really believes that garbage about “genocide in Bosnis”. According to the foreign press, there were no massed graves, and the only killing that was really being done was by “ethnic Albanians” – Moslems killing Christians – who really do not belong in either Bosnia or Kosovo ! They were put there years ago to dilute the Orthodox Christian Serbs and make these stiff-necked people easier to handle. (And the ‘American flag burning by Orthodox Priests’ that was shown on TV was a staged event by CNN. The Priests were not burning the flag, they were putting out the fire when CNN taped them).

2. We have lost nearly as many if not as many citizens in this dastardly attack as the USMC lost on Iwo. And we are going to lose more even before we begin to destroy the terrorists. Collateral damage, I believe it is called. I.E.: My wife’s first cousin is a retired Fire Chief, a veteran of WWII who ran away from home, lied about his age and enlisted in the Navy at sixteen as an ‘Armed Guard”. He survived 5 or 6 torpedoings and returned reasonably healthy. The deaths of all those NYFD initial response people made him sick…he suffered a massive heart attack and a severe stroke. He is lying in a hospital in Perth Amboy, a vegetable, having been taken off “life-support” yesterday. We are waiting to hear from his wife that he has finally expired.

3. Speaking of politicians as you so often do, I have one for the books to relate. Yesterday – Tuesday AM – I was watching the House of Reps in DC when one very good-looking young blond Democrat stood up to speak. His words nearly made me throw up. He said: “We cannot attack Afghanistan because we would imperil the lives of the 8 Relief workers whom they hold captive” !!! This illiterate, illegitimate offspring of a barking female was more worried about 8 victims than 6 or 7 thousand! And he votes for our laws.

4. I did not mean to get verbose about this but both the e-mail from that poor excuse for an officer and the reactions of some of the elected Democrats really got to me.

5. You mentioned the USS Cole, and several other incidents. It goes far beyond the previous administration. In 1947, 3 Arabs loaded to the gills with ‘hash’ climbed up our mooring lines in Port Said, over the rat guards, and came screaming down the foc’sle deck. The Corporal of the Guard removed them with 3 shots from his ’45. Two were blown overboard and one bled to death on the teak planking with which our light cruisers were encumbered in the 40’s. His autopsy revealed the ‘hash’. The local bed sheet brigade was angry with the British and we were British allies, so they attacked us. We allowed the Italian Authorities to let the convicted killer from the Achile Lauro (sp?) incident to go home on a weekend pass. He never came back. We did not pursue the hijackers of theTWA flight who killed an American sailor and threw his body on the tarmac. We did not make an example of the crazy cleric whose people invaded our embassy in Teheran. We did not finish the job in Vietnam. (The picture of Dan Blather crying turned my stomach. He was one of the talking heads who helped to destroy South Vietnam and our military)! We did not destroy Libya when the Jet was destroyed over Scotland. We did not lay waste the warlords in Somalia who dragged our dead soldiers through the streets. We sided with the Moslems against the Christians in Yugoslavia. We invaded Panama. (I wrote the I.R. material that was used to plan the attack). I would also point out that in September of 1973, some Jewish athletes were murdered. It took the Mossad several years to accomplish but every one of the murderers and the mastermind who planned the attack were destroyed! They dedicated an “A” team and a “B” team to the task and slowly but surely they removed those animals from the face of the earth. We will have to do the same thing.

6. You may not want to put my rant in next week’s JJ because it may upset some bleeding hearts, so I’ll close with the following statements:

A. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace, Amen.

B. Repeal all the phony anti-gun laws and insist that the Second Amendment is observed.

C. Now hear this! Now hear this ! General Quarters ! General Quarters ! All hands man your battle stations ! This is no drill !

A Final Thought

From a anti-war website about All Quiet on the Western Front:

<quote>

In the initial scene, uniformed German soldiers march through the town to the sound of music played by a military band. The crowds on the streets cheer and wave flags. From inside a German schoolroom, a class of boys watches the procession as their Professor lectures them on the virtues of war:

You are the life of the Fatherland, you boys. You are the iron men of Germany. You are the gay heroes who will repulse the enemy when you are called to do so. I know that in one of the schools,the boys have risen up in the classroom and enlisted in a mass. If such a thing should happen here, you would not blame me for a feeling of pride. Now our country calls. The Fatherland needs leaders. Personal ambition must be thrown aside in the one great sacrifice for our country. Here is a glorious beginning to your lives. The field of honor calls you.

The jingoistic speech proves persuasive as the entire class agrees to enlist. Here we meet the main characters of the film, including the central character, Paul Baumer.

It should be noted here that one of the chief goals of government education is to instill a sense of subservience to the state, to make "students" willing to go to war if the state deems it necessary.

<quote>

Perhaps, on the eve of war, we should all think about the limits of a just war, how we wound up at this point, and the government’s anti-terrorist legislation. That and the role of governement running schools. IMHO!
