The worst aspect of the ill will is that it directly parallels the hideous 
debate raging across the Western industrialised nations at the moment. 
 This spite is a dynamo that is going to be used as justification for 
bombing civilian men, women and children.  How anyone can equate a concern 
about that with a diminution of the horrific tragedy in New York escapes 
me.

This is my last word on this.  I swore I wouldn't get sucked into it and I 
did.  So there you go, MalD, you get a free kick.
