I'm amazed and perplexed by the debate over concern for those in Iraq. On the one hand, I think the sentiments are very appropriate. On the other hand, I think the sentiments don't have much to do with the purpose of the list. Regardless of one's position, do comments "pro" and "con" need to be directed to the whole list? Why not send editorial comments directly to the person involved? I don't need to be a part of other people's arguments! Ruth Ann
