Eric,
Why speculate? From kallisys.com:
"Today, in spite of the international public opinion, the United
States attacked Iraq.
I regret that we were not able to stop this foolish decision.
I have the deepest sympathy with the Iraqis and the families of
the future victims of terrorist replies."
From chuma.org:
"Kallisys website is closed - today Paul decided to close his site
because of the war. I completely respect him and stand beside him.
However, I think that my life and my site should not be stopped by an
arrogant United States Government."
For my part, I have more feeling for the Iraqis that Saddam
Hussein has killed over the past 10 years while the precious European
community and their sacred UN has done nothing but hold discussions
and print paper.
Regards,
