[net.politics] Election Decisions

	I for one have a very simple basis for my decision in this years
    election.  While I dissagree strongly with both major candidates, I
    am voting for Mondale for one very simple reason.  Reagan has, since
    he has been in office, sent over 300 men my age to their deaths, for
    the sole purpose of keeping up his idea of our national interest.  In
    Lebanon especially, he had absolutely no good reasons for doing this
    other than to give an impression of strength and military presence.

	I find this disregard for human lives sickening, and I am amazed
    that others haven't found this an important basis for choosing a
    candidate.
