I ebayed today, so you crossed my mind. :) It's only my second time there, but after trolling the net for hours looking for a wood sculpture of Garuda, I finally went there, and there it was! I had found a very nice one... for $925. This one looks quite lovely for $45. It's from a company, though, that is connected with National Geographic and their artists are from all countrys, and they have a pic of the artist and a personal history written by the artist. So I've printed that out to send along with the carving. Unfortunately... or fortunately... I found myself in the earring section and now have several bids out there. But it has been great fun looking through them and matching styles/metal/stones/color to each recipient. Amusing how fun it can be to find something for others that I would never wear myself.

Ion (excuse me for interrupting your ROFL) you did a good job. I'm sorry I put you to all that work. Certainly respondents who said the hijackers included Iraqis were incorrect. In your flurry of posting you may have overlooked this in one your posted articles: This does not prove, however, that Iraq and al-Qaida never cooperated. The polls, in fact, may reflect a kind of commonsense logic: Saddam Hussein and al-Qaida share a pathological hatred of the United States, so it’s entirely possible that they collaborated, even if we don’t know how. One thing the stupid red-state voters have an edge on is common sense. Here is a hypothetical scenario: On the morning of 9/12 Saddam is at the breakfast table with coffee and a cigar He picks up Al-Jazeer and exclaims to his beloved wife and sons, "You are not going to believe this! Some Arabs hi-jacked airplanes and crashed them into the World Trade Towers! What is this world coming to!" That may have happened. Even though I'm from a blue state, I kind of doubt it.
