Yes we do have freedom of speech -- and we are even allowed to utter
opinions displeasing to our leaders. I do not always have the feeling you US
people have that freedom, I now refer to discussions I apparently loosened
in October 2001.

That gives me the feeling of "There you go again". When someonce saves my
life it doesn't give him the right to rape my wife. I know Americans came to
fight in Europe, and I also am sure that those who came here, did so with
the best intentions. But I explained already before the real motives behind
this participation -- that, BTW, only begun AFTER the German defeats in
Russia.

I am a friend of Israel, but I do not, I stress NOT, agree with Mr Sharon's
policy. I think ever since Mr Begin was president in Israel only Rabin was a
foresighyted politician, the others all were not able to see larger
connections.

I also think this listis not the place to discuss these issues, thus if you
want to continue the discussion mail me privately, and let's return to
klarinet stuff on this list.
