Prudence, if you're at all interested Manuscripts in the basement of Suzzallo holds Magnuson's papers.

I spent a lot of time in them for thesis on Boeing's labor relations and found it really interesting.

Am I the only one who doesn't care if/when Saddam is executed?
And I the only one who is a wee bit concerned about the [probable] aftermath of said executation and a possible attack on US soil? No, I am not going to hide - but I am a bit concerned.

So which is it, do you care or not? Personally, I doubt there will be much backlash against Americans beyond troops getting caught in the crossfire. Most of the hate in that particular struggle is directed inward at each other.

I didn't express my thought well.

I don't care if/when he is (for all I care he could rot in jail; but I could see potential hostage situations of release Saddam or we kill everyone), but I am concerned about the aftermath and our troops being caught in it. The entire world doesn't see this as a legitimate trial by the Iraqi's. There is still a belief that America was pulling the puppet strings.

Donald Rumsfeld, you're on the clock.

A "legitimate trial" by the Iraqis would have been no trial at all.

The ENTIRE world huh? Every single person everywhere?

Wow- that's an impressive and completely impossible to back up exaggerated claim.

Not arguing with you (I know better) -

The entire world doesn't. No, not every country (the entire world) sees this as a legitimate trial. Some countries do, some don't. Therefore, the entire world doesn't.

Please relax and take a breath before you jump down my throat in the future. Thank you.

I thought I was on ignore. Damn.
