Hi stockman_scott; Re Nicholas D. Kristof's quoting the Baghdad patriot: ""If someone tries to threaten us, we know how to respond," said a farmer named Hakim al-Khal in the bazaar of Karbala, and then he reached under his shirt and brandished a handgun." This reminds me of a recent incident I experienced with one of my older relatives. After that arthritic and shaky hand produced the small revolver, I was torn between an urge to hit the ground versus staying calm. Like a deer caught in the headlights, I chose calm. Even when this old man was young and hale he was famous for a certain accident that involved a gun, an unlucky farm critter, and an extreme lack of judgement, safety and accuracy. -- Carl
