  TO Jrig.................

  Canada's direct interest in the Middle East during the first part of 1956 was largely confined to the export of Canadian arms to this volatile region. As the documentation in the first chapter suggests, Canada worked hard to keep its military exports to Israel and the Arab countries in approximate balance, unwilling to assume a leading role as a regional arms supplier. This became much harder in April 1956, when Dulles asked Pearson to supply Israel with jet fighters in order to offset increased Soviet aid to Egypt. (Document 33) Pearson was sympathetic, but unwilling to act except as part of a collective Western decision to provide Israel with defensive weapons. (Documents 47-48) Working out this policy with the Western allies proved exceptionally complicated, and became even more so when Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser abruptly nationalized the Suez Canal in July 1956.

  Financial backing from Canada to Israel is also available from any search engine.

  Larc,
  I would copy the information anyway and send it to them with or without a reply. Maybe just Maybe one person will see the truth and pass it on as you are now trying to do.
  Good Luck

  TOP TEN REASONS TRICK-OR-TREATING IS BETTER THEN SEX

  10. Guaranteed to get at least a little something in the sack.
  9. If you get tired, wait 10 minutes and go at it again.
  8. The uglier you look, the easier it is to get some.
  7. You don't have to compliment the person who gave you candy.
  6. It's OK when the person you're with fantasizes you're someone else, because you ARE someone else.
  5. 40 years from now, you'll still enjoy candy.
  4. If you don't get what you want, you can always go next door.
  3. Doesn't matter if kids hear you moaning and groaning.
  2. Less guilt the next morning. And the Number
  1 Reason Trick-Or-Treating is Better Than Sex...

  You can "do" the whole neighborhood!!!

  Truth,
  You should contact Bill Bowen via silentlambs.com I know where you are coming from for I to was a "silent lamb" far too long.
  I found Bill's website about 4 months ago and posted my story. There I found dozens of people going through the same pain and confusion I was experiencing.

  About 2 weeks ago Bill Bowen (who was an elder) was on the radio explaining why he started his site and related my story on the air. This gave me a sense of validation because for years everything that happened to me had been swept under the rug so to speak.

  When Bill read my story on the air I cried tears of pain for the memories and tears of Joy to know that someone had embraced me and FINALLY believed me.

  I have been in therapy for years now. One of the Best books I found to help is The Courage To Heal by, Ellen Bass and Laura Davis, there is a workbook by the same name written by Laura Davis.
  Another book I found helpful is The Wounded Heart by, Dr. Dan B. Allender.

  If you are in a relationship and are looking for help in explaining your feelings to your partner the book, Allies in Healing by, Laura Davis is excellent.
  The last book I recommend is, Gifts From A Course In Miracles.
  I hope you can find some inner peace.
