I agree with Oskar.
Of course, one could link war to disability,
but I don't see this being the intention behind this post.

Dear all,
As a quite recent subscriber to this list, I will first and foremost say that
I am very thankful for the many thoughts and ideas shared! Especially
when I sent out a question regarding disabled veterans of war and societal attitudes towards impairment and disability,]
and got some very useful tips!
Anyway, and this is the tough part, I have understood the idea of this list
primary as a way of communicating thoughts, ideas and theories regarding disability studies
and issues related to these areas of interest. However, I do not find any relevance in this posting about war,
conflicts and George W. Bush. So, please, if relevance according to the stated subject of this list is a matter,
I would personally be very happy if mails with differing subjects could be sent somewhere else.
Yours sincerely,
Oskar
Krantz
