In all the confusion and coverage of the war 1 do feel that this article will proVil.3 EV= insight. At this important time In history so many lives are at stake. We cannot give up and leave it in the hands of those who got us into this situation. Along with many other Canadians I want to add my voice to those who seek peace without killing to get it. I hope that you do print this article from a concerned Canadian. Sincerely, Betty Hynes N.BA'Wo d appreciate any feed- back on thi THE REAL ENEMY IN IRAQ Saddam Hussein is unabashedly called the most dangerous man in the world and is compared to Hitler. His proven willingness to turn to dreaded chemical biological weapons in a pinch adds fuel to the hysteria. For many Canadians and, Ameri- cans who hardly recognized the name a few months ago, Hussein has turned overnight into a demagog to be hated and feared. The fear is not misplaced. Hussein commands a million -man army with high-tech weapons and 5,500 tanks, more than Hitler had on the eve of the Nazi invasion of Poland. Usually only in renospect do -die previous mistakes that lead to that war become more obvious, Ernest Hemingway who wrote much about men and war said. during World War that he "Hates war and hates all the politicians whose misman asmionf, cuggity, 'sinless and ambition brought on the present war and made it inevitable." Then there was Hitler, just as there is. now Hussein the bad man of the hour. But what mistakes, what greed, and what stupidities on our part have contributed to the Middle East crisis getting so out of hand? Hussein's arsenall includes both Soviet and American weapons for a stmt. And certainly, Hussein is no stranger to making war as a sol- ution to his country's problems. While he battled Iran, America looked on and cheered from the sidelines, even providing him mili- tary intelligence. ,Barlier this year, President Bush was asked at a press conference what new enemy would take the place of the Soviet Union. "Instabil- ity," he said, making it clear there would be no shortage of enemies. America is seeking to protect its sources of oil, but it is also for- warding a clear-cut international policy for the post -cold war area.

Each side thinks they are justified or right, no matter the real truth, Going into a war such as we now face, it is folly not to we- ognize that wide -scale violence and destruction is not the only way to end any conflict of interest. Acclaimed best-selling author L Ron Hubbard writes in dianetics, his classic manual on the human mind, "There are no international concerns which cannot be resolved by peaceful means, not in the terms of supernational government, but in the terms of reason. • "Jockeying with indefinable ideologies, playing with mass ignor ance, non existent entities like nightmares march the world in the form of the Gods of Ism. "No self-interest can be so great as to demand the slaughter of man- kind. He who would demand it, he who would not by every rational means avert it, is insane. There is no justification for war." These words take on new mean- ing when one realizes that dianetics delineates not only the actual causes of insanity, but also methods to make it largely a thing of the past.

We were greeted by a small group of young people playing merangue music and immediately I felt my blood start to pump and my spirits lift. As we waitedJAYA -- luggage to unload, I found the ladies room, grabbed a handful of paper towels soaked in cold water and then found an overhead fan to stand under. The heat and humidity was almost over powering. The trip to jack Tar Village, where we were, staying, was very short and gave us a quick view of the lush, tropical greenery we would come to love during our seven day stay. Arriving at the village, we were greeted by our Advent= Tour hostess, Barbara, who is a Canad'eni, but lives on die island now. What a fantastic job she has!
