So far, to the best of my knowledge, everyone in my small community grieves for the loss of those allied with the U.S. as well as our own. More than one house here flies the flags of all who stand shoulder to shoulder with U.S. forces alongside "Old Glory". Everyone I know here also either prays or is outwardly concerned for the welfare of the Iraqi people.

Maybe it's different in Evansville, Indiana (or Cherlie's little part of it). Maybe there they give Cherlie a hard time about his nationality (I'm assuming, of course, that Cherlie is a Brit ... perhaps he's from another part of the world. If it turns out he's not either, then he probably needs to seek some serious counciling).

Was it one of the special edition Tornados that had a third seat for a reporter?

It is said that 70% of human communication is nonverbal.

I've been accused of being demasiado suave . I'm not sure if the gist of my message was subtle beyond Dowding's palate or he was just over eager for an opportunity to scamper to his rightous pulpit.
