If you look forward to checking your List email everyday (and a lot of you have written to say that you do!), then you're probably getting at least $20 or $30 worth of Entertainment from the Lists each year. You'd pay twice that for a subscription to some lame magazine or even a dinner out. Isn't the List worth at least that much to you? Wouldn't it be great if you could pay that amount and get a well-managed media source free of advertising, SPAM, and viruses? Come to think of it, you do... :-) Won't you please take a minute to make your Contribution today and support the Lists? Contribution Page: http://www.matronics.com/contribution Again, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone that has made a Contribution thus far during this year's List Fund Raiser!! These Lists are made possible exclusively through YOUR generosity!! Thank you for your support!

Subject: Looking Back Subject: Interesting insights One of the best points of view that I have heard on the current political situation concerning the war on terror. "You ain't gonna like losing." Unfortunately, Author unknown President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq . Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same on e his father fought for in WW2. It is not. Back then, they had just come o ut of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of tha t depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders. Therefore, when the war broke out the people came tog ether, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not. And war was j ust as distasteful and the anguish just as great as it is today. Often ther e were more casualties in one day in WW2 than we have had in the entire Ir aq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President becau se it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in W W2 and worked together to win that war. Everyone from every strata of soci ety, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons aro und to gather scrap metal for the war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort. Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their be st to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was i mposed, yet there was very little complaining. You never heard prominent p eople on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit a nd fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted! And imagine this: Teac hers in schools actually started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance a nd with prayers for our country and our troops! Back then, no newspaper wo uld have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs coul d be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared co mplain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have bee n laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese so ldiers were being 'tortured' by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did no t have air conditioning. There were a lot of things different back then. W e were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack he ads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets. No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake o f believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearl y to preserve. It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorrah and the Land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after 9/1 1, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country w ould actually require some sacrifices. We are in great danger. The terrori sts are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that abo ut one-third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause...Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits.
