I didn't march in there TELLING Israelis that they must adopt the "objective" standards of Arabs.

Objectively false. You don't judge Sharon by his standards.

Now, I realize you are communicating from a different planet. Fine, I'm game. Trouble is, seems your signal is weak. I think your batteries are running down. They are affecting your ability to reason, hence the piteous wail from outer space of "Does not compute" reaching me down here on pedestrian Earth. Not only that, your communication equipment seems further affected by some kind of virus - your English seems to have deteriorated badly... I hear the message "No can communicate"... my computers are crunching, seems it is some kind of pidgin English, a possible backward evolution... hold on, CB, hold on, help is on the way, I think you may have come down with an acute case of objectivitis moralitivitis, also known as the pompousous blowhardatus syndrom. I hear it can be hard to recover. I send you my sympathy plus two aspirin.

Where's the beef?

Hi Sir Francis Drake; Re: "See, I know what the moral code is of my society, of modern Western culture, of various other societies (Arab honor code etc.) in so far as my education and research allows."

Would "Arab honor" include the concept of fighting a war for reasons of national honor?
