Sorry to digress so quickly from Timothy's initial question but I'm wondering why there isn't more 'mail' communication from the Gulf about the Gulf. During Tiennamen Square we had Soc.China. Where's Soc.Gulf 'from' the Gulf. With China it looked like countries were without walls. It seems to me that the US and Israel have erected amazing 'computer-assisted' walls to insure that we have 'no' communication with 'the people' of Irag, not just Saddam. For me, this seems much more dangerous than all the 'smart' weapons used so far. I hope I'm wrong and that someone can direct me to a lively discussion from within Iraq. I walked with 250,000 peace loving folks down Market street in San Francisco and then watched the NBC National News make not one mention of this event at 6 o'clock. Thom Gillespie
