Mr. Tim Hunt,

Then you admit that George Bush is *hardly* the "first and only" public
American figure to call for respect for all Arabs? This is nonesense on
its face.

Nice, dispicable baiting by the way.

Boring shot; I notice you still don't clarify.

My hatred of violence and oppression? Good.

Would it help you if I said "Sharon's arrogance"?

Shoe Shine boy?

My Iraq?

I certainly don't see how the crimes of one excuse the crimes of the
other. You, not I, support, without voiced reservation, one set of
criminals. I prefer my opposition to terrorism to be *consistent*: I
oppose Saddam when we supported him; I oppose Saddam when we attack Iraq.

I opposed our support of him. I oppose our attack on Iraqis.

I oppose Israeli violence against Palestinians. I oppose Palestinian
violence against Israelis. 

Is this so very hard for you to understand?

Which hatred? I'm certainly annoyed by garbled blather. You certainly
supply it. Do better.

If you care to review your first note, you might notice that it was hardly
a model of respective propriety. At least I supply argument along with my
ire.

More argument, too. Since you don't distinguish, I didn't bother.
