[kictanet] I stand by the helpless-PEACE CAMPAIGN

Mon Jan 7 16:44:28 EAT 2008

Yes Wash,

In view of the recent political developments, the list

country was burning and going to the dogs.  

Any 'Peace' related message was therefore kindly welcome
and I believe members would tolerate any 'peaceful'
diversion in our deliberation in the interim.
