[Paleopsych] World language change

[G. Reinhart-Waller]

Doesn't matter whether or not you like one country as world cop.  That's 
the way it is!!!  Let me ask you....has any other country volunteered to 
assist U.S. in "maintaining the peace?  I don't know of any; do you? 

Forming a new government in Iraq is a give and take situation.  Where 
you place the effort depends on whether you're with the ebb or flo.

Regards,
Gerry Reinhart-Waller
