When we're victorious everyone's going to want to get into the action. Nepal will send two sherpas and a bomb-sniffing yak.

Thanks for making me laugh...

But why should we have to pay for them to join the party if they don't support the mission?

Ukraine is so poor that I would guess their opinions are for sale to the highest bidder.

He forgot to mention that those actions taken will get that "thorn in the side of international security" Saddam out of the way unlike the UN's way of trying to doing so in the past 12 YEARS!

My wife is Ukrainian and she assures me that the people and government of Ukraine do not support the war against Iraq whatsoever. They are completely opposed to it.

The chemical unit being sent to Kuwait is humanitarian only, and cost the USA big bucks. Her nephew is in that unit and will get a nice pay bonus for going.

They're already there. Ukraine approved the 500+ unit on Thursday.

From Pravda - Sat. March 22, 2003: The advanced group of the Ukrainian radiation, bacteriological and chemical protection battalion flew to Kuwait, the Ukrainian defence ministry reported on Saturday.

"Ukraine is so poor that I would guess their opinions are for sale to the highest bidder."

I feel stronglly that Ukraine has never escaped the brainwashing they received in the many years before the USSR fell. When I was there before it came undone I was in shock to find that they did not even oppose that their children spoke Russian and largely not Ukrainian. That is obscene so far as I can think.

The person who replied to my question as to why simply said, "Well wherever the children go the elders will follow". I determined to remember this. The 7 young children in this family are home-schooled. Guess why.

Russia destroyed Ukraine with their bungling of nuke stuff and overbearing posture. Other nations had already robbed them of even the topsoil which had made them the bread basket of the region....They have been stripped in more than one way.

Pray for Ukraine. They need liberation. A once proud people with sterling leadership qualities and intelligence have been cowed and bobbed.

The Russian-speaking population of East Ukraine still has strong emotional ties to Russia, and adores Putin. Yet I was surprised to get this letter (excerpted):

Takzhe perezhivayut za voynu, khotyat vashey pobedy. My tak razveselilis', kogda moya mama, a ey uzhe 76 let, ne ponyala chto Ukraina vystupaet soyunitsey SShA i govorit: " Sasha, a pochemu nash Kuchma na storone nerusskikh (amerikantsev schitaet russkimi!), kak ehto ponimat'?" Ya ee sposil pochemu ona tak dumaet, a ona: "tak voyska nashi poslali v kakoy-to kuveyt" (ona ne smogla vygovorit' Kuveyt, no my ponyali, chto ona imela vvidu). Kogda my ob"yasnili, chto ona nepravil'no ponyala, to ona obradovalas'.

"They are so worried about the war, they wish for your victory. We all laughed a lot when my mama who is already 76 years old didn't undertand that Ukraine is being a little ally of the USA and she said: 'Sasha, but why is our Kuchma on the side of non-Russians?' (Americans she considers Russians) I asked her why she thought that. And she said: 'Since we're sending our soldiers to help some kind of koovait' (she couldn't pronounce Kuwait, but we knew what she meant). When we explained that she had misunderstood, she was so much happier."


Knowing Kuchma and the west Ukrainian khokhly, I guess it's for a whole lotta baksy. Well, they can just keep their toy soldiers if that's the case.

Considering that most of the guards at Hitler's Concentration Camps were Ukrainian, this shouldn't come as a shock.
