It is amazing how other countries (South and Middle American , some European and quite a few Asian and African) constantly, these days, have great joy in complaining about the US American ways. These countries however are the first, to ask and often demand help, when a catastrophe occurs. Be it nature or economical. The first one to help normally is the US. No question about this. Without the USA. the world as we know it would be in total chaos. Just look at the areas in the world, where the USA has not much of a present. The result: Total mayhem. Further, Without the USA, none of you guys would be sitting here on your computers and send mail to each other. And the worst thing: Without the USA. Germany with its "great Dictator" would be ruling now. Without the US help, after the second world war, half the European population would have probably starved. There is nothing to be say against some light harted comments and digs about each others countries like most on the LUG are doing , but some people are serious about this. That's the part I am objecting to Finally: What other country produced Marylin Monroe and even Monica? Regards, Horst Schmidt
