Unfortunately not all people are like you or are like LJ.

For sure, you and LJ do not need to be reminded. But, of course, there are others who are not as intelligent or as fortunate to be as educated and civilised as your goodselves. So those unfortunate "crazies" or what have you have to be told and reminded, again and again, if need be. As no one seems to be reminding them, I just tried to do so.

Don't forget also there are lots of "educated"/"civilized" folks who have the Dr. Jekyl-and-Mr. Hyde double-personality in them. The ravings and rantings, screeching and screaming of execrations, vituperations and casting aspersions and false/unjustified accusations and spewing of venom at every turn, of the last few days on this thread, bear ample testimony to this.

Even in peace time, I have overheard conversations, in public places, sprinkled with words like, "You know, I'm not a racist, BUT if I can get my fingers on the balls of that @!&%FAH*#$Z, I'll ..........." In times of war, moral restraints are often thrown out of the window. Some, if not a lot of folks have to be restrained, and hopefully with success.

Thank God for other leaders, at home and abroad, imploring Bush not to act rashly as some/lots of people like him to do so.

I wish that were true. I live in the Baltimore area and there is a lot of sentiment being expressed against Moslems in our community. Some of the women who veil themselves are afraid to go out. Some people are displaying anti muslim sentiments on their vehicles.

Unfortunately some people do get carried with their understandable anger and misdirect their anger to the innocent. I, for one, think it is important that we point out the error of their ways. Never know when such hatred might be directed at us.
