I hate to say it but the west is too preoccupied with Hockey night in
Canada, the Superbowl or American Idol to care even about their own
domestic affairs much less foreign ones and never mind about questioning

its nuclear weapons back in 1991. Are people on this mailing list and in
the diaspora only beginning to realize this NOW?????
