Nothing can surprise me anymore.
We have here a political party, called in English something like Christ
Democrats
and that would make you think they should be better then the rest, doesn't it?

done.

 BF>>> Are you saying that Saddam was a nice guy?

 FS>> Of course not ...

 BF>> Why do I get that impression then?

 FS> Read what you've said above:  " So, if it doesn't suit you, you
