Sorry for the tilde. The virus program does not give whole filename. The one from yesterday was IN552D~1.htm (path was /local/temp/content.IE5/) and I even had one quarantined from last week c:/system.exe.So far so good today. Using IE6, Windows XP.
We as a nation are still recovering from the scars from that dark time in American history.
We are repeating history, because we've learned nothing from the past.
As you know, it happened on my work computer. I'll check the virus history tomorrow and let you know the filename. (I deleted the file from the quarantine folder….so the computer guy wouldn't see it :oops:)
I changed my mind. Iraq is the center of a great war. The Global War on Terror. War was declared against us by Islamo-fascists many years ago. So yes, the Iraq War is really a war.
Phid, I was just reacting to your word “might” about the public's perception, which already is negative no matter what it's called. Whether it's called a war or invasion or occupation or conflict or imperialism (that's my favorite one from the Left :-P), it has conjured up all kinds of negativity. I see your point now though. The only reason I refer to it as a war is because it is something that needs to be won.
This is a good question, Phid. I still call it a war, but it really isn't. Maybe it would be better to decribe it as a war for freedom – to free the Iraqi people. The real war is in Afghanistan, but even the same type of nation building is going on there as well.Stumpfoot, IMO, it is absolutely not a disservice to any veteran no matter what we want to call what's going on in Iraq.
Well, don't expect too much from me. You guys are the history experts.
The territory, which in 1862 became the town of East Providence was in the mainstream of early American history. The original settlement and development of the area take us back to two of the most famous movements in our history - the coming of the Pilgrims to Plymouth, and the Puritans to the Boston area. Both groups contributed settlers, ideas, and disagreements to the early history of East Providence. East Providence was first settled in 1636. Earlier in that year, Roger Williams and his followers were banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony and founded a new community called "Seacunke", (Seekonk).
Seekonk, MA is the next town over from mine, east providence, RI
Shortly thereafter Roger Williams and his group were informed by the Governor that their land was within territorial limits claimed by the colony of Massachusetts. Williams' party quickly departed and settled nearby, starting what would eventually become the City of Providence. In 1862, when East Providence was incorporated as a part of Rhode Island, many older residents of the community could boast of having lived in 3 towns and 2 states without ever having moved. In 1862 the westerly part of Seekonk was annexed to Rhode Island and incorporated as a town, which was named East Providence. Thus, settling the Massachusetts-Rhode Island Boundary question. East Providence's proximity to Providence, and strong ties with Rhode Island, made this action inevitable.

Well, that's why I'm here guys. To bring to the forefront little Rhody's rightful place in US History. 😀
Don't tell me -- but I had heard that there was something about the troops had to raise money for the war effort around the time of Iwo Jima
Pretty much that's what the whole movie's about.
