chinu. You said...." Handing over sovereignty is always done with pomp and glory. The latest being the handover of Hong Kong. The Iraqi handover was not similar is it? It was done so to say "in the middle of the night"."....

When Hong Kong was handed back to China there wasn't a bunch of crazy radical islam killers blowing people up and beheading people. Thought hand over occurred 10.am Iraq time not in the middle of the night as you stated . It is my understanding hand over was done quitely so as to interrupt the islam killers plans and save lives... You think that was a good idea?

What about negative comments by kerry about those people that have been fighting for democracy in Cuba for so many years. What do you think of his comments???

Seems to me someone failed to understand the expression

"in the middle of the night"

does not literally/necessarily mean

late at night or

at midnight!

Not too long ago, the word

"woolgathering"

was misunderstood to mean gathering wool by means of shearing & etc.
