[spectre] RE: Save the Lebanese Civilians Petition

Tue Jul 18 12:52:49 CEST 2006

no disrespect to you Louise, i agree with all you say, but what is another 
petition going to do? - in fact i've kind of wondered what happens to all of 
them...what does happen to petitions? maybe it works in a small village, but 
with isreal - seems like shouting in a wind tunnel?
i'm sorry, i don't know what to do either
