    My interest in England and Russia is about the same. I'm fascinated by history, and the US is low on my list only because y'all haven't been there long enough for my liking.

    Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

      I wonder if they died for rounding up immigrants from islamic countries with "uncertain" status.

      On the morning of September 11, 2001 two distinct groups of people boarded flight 93. One group planned on arriving in San Francisco and seeing friends, family or business associates, the other group planned on killing everyone on board and hundreds of civilians. One group died trying to protect, the other trying to murder. Mike Mullikin :beer:

No, but then again I don't commit crimes and I wouldn't attempt to stay in a country illegally by breaking immigration laws. This leads us to the crux of the situation: The ones who had committed no crimes or were here legally were not detained. I beleive the laws in Germany are very similar to the US in this area. If a foreigner commits a crime they can be arrested. True? Also, if a foreigner violates immigration laws they can be detained or deported. True? Why does everyone expect the US to do anything different? Mike Mullikin :beer:

Sure, everybody is oblieged to followthe law. but just because its the law doesn't mean it's right. (cf. jus primae noctis)

                      I just questioned that the worthy cause they died for was rounding up illegal immigrants of islamic origin. They died for a worthy cause, but they shouldn't have had to.
