Forgive me Ana, but perhaps this is not the best place to discuss the modern
political situation in the Middle East. I suppose, if I were on a rampage, I
could make a good case for bulldozing the entire Middle East and turning it
into a penguin farm, and sending ALL of them, Arabs and Israelis and Coptic
Christians and anybody else who wants to kill other people down to Antartica
and let them throw snowballs at each other, but unless someone has a good
recipe for penguin, this isn't the place to do it ;-)

Misha is young, and upset about something that unfortunately most of us have
had to come to terms with in previous wars, and he needs some reassurance,
which we're happy to give, as we can. But bringing up other wrongs in the
situation does nothing but let people think that if two wrongs don't make a
right, 47, or 47000 must.

Lets keep the modern politics to ourselves, and try to heal the wounded,
feed the hungry, and shelter the homeless when the dust settles.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
