From the mailbag.Just wanted to send a note expressing my appreciation for Gen. Wesley Clark (person) Wesley Clark - One of the designers of the Laboratory Instrument Computer at MIT who subsequently had a quiet hand in many seminal computing events, such as the development of the Internet, the first really good description of the metastability problem in computer logic. http://www.pretext.com/mar98/features/story1.htm.'s article ("War didn't and doesn't bring democracy"). This man seems one of the most rational, intelligent, and credible commentators on U.S. foreign policy. His words help some of us non-Americans remember that there are people in U.S. politics who don't have a cowboy attitude regarding the rest of the world. Phoebe Tegan Sydney, Australia Wesley Clark should remember that war did indeed bring democracy to America and helped preserve it through many conflicts since then. I do agree with some of his comments that America should not take too much public credit for the burgeoning democracies in the Middle East. Yet I also believe that our goals as a democratic society should mesh with those of any society that seeks a truly representative government. I was in Europe at the end of the Cold War serving in the U.S. Air Force, and I have no doubt that President Reagan's call to Gorbachev to "tear down In communications, to free up a circuit that has been established for a particular session. When the session is completed, the circuit is "torn down" and the components and services involved are available for use by someone else. this wall" contributed to the final outcome.
