Joe, there is nothing we have to appologise for. Well there is one thing I guess, we screwed-up the Soviet power and forever destroyed the ballance of power. There were good old days that Soviets were putting the screws into the Arab Nationalism, selling them junk for weapons and were making them fight Israel in the open battle fields every few years. It was a good business for Soviets and for the West and certain hot beads of Arab nationalism were under control. Now, regretfully, there is no Soviet Uion where Arabs can get field training, guns and ideology. There is only one Superpower, and Arabs can't fight on the open battle fields. They have no support anywhere in the World, this adds to there anger, the go undergound and become terrorists. We have no protection from terrorism, they can strike us and we cannot do anything about it other than acts of self defense, such as liberation Iraq.

"If poor Grainne had her way we would look at this life as a type of Catholic purgatory and spend all of it apologising to people we have never met, perhaps even generations of people that have not been born." That is not true, really. I like to have fun and don't spend my entire life worrying about shrimps' souls. It is just that SI is such a strange forum that it brings out the extremist in almost everyone. Really, if you knew me you would think I was very relaxed and mellow, not at all shrill or given to outbursts about political matters. In fact, I rarely discuss them. Aren't we all very exaggerated versions of ourselves online?
