Trying to make some sort of connection between the Gulf War and FSF/GNU is reprehensible in the extreme and quite frankly unutterable bullshit. One is a political/military issue of foreign policy, the other is a domestic economic/political issue of copyright. They are related by only the most absurdly tenuous of connections. The US propaganda war on its citizens is not the same thing as its attack on Iraq and Kuwait. The propaganda generated in connection with the attack is merely a good example of the ever increasing power of the government to control the media. The connection is between two propaganda campaigns, not between the bloody massacre and the government suppression of programmer freedom. I personally object to your remarks in any case because they are nothing less than treasonous - a deliberate defamation of the honorable actions of the allied military in the Gulf War. Kindly desist from abusing a just cause (FSF/GNU) to make unwarranted and politically subversive statements. -Huw You forgot to append a ":-)" (I hope).
