My poll on the US action in Grenada has received about #### responses. I will not publish anything yet, since they are still coming in. Also, I will not be able tabulate them by date of transmission as I am throwing headers away as soon as I get the letters. I would rather preserve what anonymity I can ... . Anyhow, I will probably tabulate the results on 11/4 or 11/5. I will repeat the quesionaire at the end of this letter. hou5d!mat Mark Terribile ______________________________________________________________________________ Ok. The time has come to find out what people think about Grenada. Here is a little poll. I am willing to tabulate the results and I will post them (to net.flame) so please send you answers to me at hou5d!mat. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO SHOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT US MILITARY ACTIONS IN ``FRIENDLY'' COUNTRIES. In the best tradition, the choices are simplistic, but I have tried not to bias them TOO much. (Everyone knows what I think about Grenada by now). 1) The military actions taken by the US in Grenada were a) Definately unjustified b) Possibly justified c) Definately justified d) I need more information to decide 2) Use of military force against a nation not engaged in declared war with the US may, depending on circumstances, be a) Definately unjustified b) Possibly justified c) Definately justified 3) The current actions of the US Congress in attempting to use the War Powers Act to limit or control executive branch use of military force reflects my opinions a) Well b) Poorly 4) I work a) in industry b) in academia as a teacher or administrator c) in academia as a student 5) What time zone do you live in? Written statements of opinion probably should be put on net.flame or net.politics.
