COMM-ORG policy question

[ed:  I am forwarding Jean-Robert's response to my peace/war 
question, with his permission, and in particular because of his 
important "American" perspective.]

Hi Randy !

To my eyes, COMM-ORG's anti-war and peace messages are very 
important. So are references to articles, posters, etc. From a non 
United Stater * stand, it's major to know that many United Staters 
are against war and see the imperialist reasons for this agression 
planned against Irak. No one want's to support Irak's crazy dictator 
but many do not want blood shed for oil.  

Thanks Randy

Jean-Robert

* I dont want to use the term American, cause I am an American 
too ! A North American like all Mexicans also ! If my English is not 
too poor you can include my message on the list, if you see it fit.
