[Zlatko Waterman]

Dear All:


This article ( link below) in the IHT (International Herald Tribune) highlights the recent failures of the "get tough" policy by the US military against protestors in Iraq.

Long ago, but on a day I remember well, our own militia "got tough" on domestic soil.

Here's a link to the Iraqi 'get tough" story:

I dedicate this last link particularly to those at Studio Eight who may not have heard of this event, known its details intimately, and especially-- to those who hadn't been born at the time it occurred.
