Re: Protest against the war on Iraq

This ada board is not a proper place for sounding off against a war. 
I do agree however that now is not a good time for one.  I would like
to think that everyone here no matter what stance they carry support
our men and women overseas who follow their orders and defend our
freedoms.  We are very lucky to have them as members of this great
nation.  As for the Patriots they did shoot down a friendly so 6 for 6
isn't a valid statement either.  I do however know that many of the
systems you see at work .. from subs to planes to ships have ada
inside .. and as an ada coder you have to appreciate the complexity of
these systems.  I can't even begin to describe how much easier a time
I have had writting code in ada and debugging it vs. C++.  I hope this
board keeps up the good work ... I have learned a lot from everyone
posting here.

Bill
