Welcome mo.

Don't forget to bring some treats. <g>

I have been reading the past couple of days that there is some concern that the attacks not continue through Ramadan, which starts in about a month and I believe lasts for a month beyond that. Something about fear of offending Muslim sensibilities.

Well, if I recall correctly, the Arab nations in the Middle East collectively attacked Israel on Yom Kippur, the most solemn and religiously significant holiday for Jews. Yom Kippur lasts one day (sundown to sundown), and the Muslim Arabs picked that day to attack. Now we are supposed to wait a month to let the Taliban regroup.

I don't think so. They wouldn't hesitate attacking us on Christmas. They probably will.
