I just wish we could go back in time and focus on being our own country. Withdraw from unneccisary foreign affairs so to speak. If two little country's want to have an ongoing war, well lets just sit back and watch them kill each other. Look back in time a little here. Every time a couple little country's get into it, the good old U.S.A. comes to the rescue and takes sides and punishes the one we (think) is wrong. Go on 72 day bombing spree's and its no wonder we have made some enemies. Whoever done this knows what they are doing. They know that the only way to take this country down is from within. They knew they had to use our own plains and take off from our own airports. They are even saying on the news that the highjackers even learned how to fly our jets from our own pilot schools. Sure, I say blow this ring leader clear off the map. I just don't think that is the soul problem here. I'm just not sure that we haven't already stuck our nose in where it don't belong on some of these ongoing foreign affairs. We have stepped on somebody's toes here to make them want to do something like what they did. I would sure hate to think that we have lost up to and maybe well over 5000 civilian people and 15 billion dollars in damage just becuase we were trying to inflict our government and military over some rinky dink group or country that originally had no concern with us and we may have not been affected at all by their original goal or actions. If you can tell, I don't believe we will ever have world peace or a one world government. It would be nice to have world peace but there will always be a group or country that will want to be on there own and stir up trouble. I sure wouldn't be in favor of excepting someone else's government and on that note, in retrospect, I can see where there is some conflict with that world wide. I just think if we would stay home a little more and concentrate on our own country and only get out and cuase waves over an incident like the terrorist attack then I bet this terrorist attack would of never happened. Well somewhere else anyway where we could of watched from afar rather than been affected. You can't poke a stick into a bee hive without being attacked so why bother the bee hive if the bee hive is not bothering you. That's how I think we should handle our foreign affairs. If we get poked, we poke back and wipe them out. If they leave us alone, then we stay out of all these little conferntations that don't have nothing to do with us. The sad part about this is the damage is done and our hands our pretty much tied as far as changing our foreign affairs on this particular deal. It's like this whole Middle East deal that's been going on for years. The only way that could ever affect us is if they would happen to unite and even then it would only be in fuel prices. Well here is a little factual tip. The Middle East have been fighting among themselve's for centuries and they haven't united yet. The chances are really slim and becuase of that we will always be on friendly terms with atleast one country to trade with. If they jack the oil prices up then we say the only way we'll buy it is to trade food with them. We in turn jack food prices up to make up the difference. If that country disagree's then we do buisness with their enimy. Their hands would just be tied either way. We don't necassarily need to be involved in all these little glimpses of one country taking over another. Let the little puppit countries duke it out. It would probably be like watching a little boxing match. We don't have to be a world wide refferee, we can sit in the stands and watch. Now that this is a serious deal their may well be some more serious turns of events. I just hope it turns out O.K. for the U.S.A. and we can meet some kind of closure to this very devistating event. Dealing with suicide individuals is very serious if they happen to have access to some nucs. You might just change your mind on that bombing thing. That cituation is really starting to scare me. I gotta run so God Bless America.

Pitfalls of Tractor Engine Rebuilds - by Chris Pratt. The first pop after you have put the machine together with your own hands is exciting and pleasing. The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
