<<An ignorant mass of people can easily be whipped into a frenzy but when the shooting started in Iraq, they displayed cowardice.>> I agree with most of your comment but, when an impoverished, powerless populace consents to be sent to the front on orders from a murderous, psychotic thug and then promptly surrenders at the first sight of an Coalition soldier, I think that is not cowardice but a display of eminent good sense and appropriate survival skills.

Mr frozen post seemed to me condescendingly provocative. I completely agree with you and I think it is only fair to divulge that I sent him/her a "zealot-free-zone" warning message last night. A self-policing thread is a good thing but we need to to be firm, persistent, and dignified. One thing I've been wondering, is this a forum where an Arab Muslim would feel welcome and completely free to submit considered opinions in an atmosphere of dignity and respect? That is the question I asked myself as I evaluated your earlier post . I hope you see what I mean. Regards, --fl
