I'm sure Hendrik is very concerned that some of the innocent Afgans might 
have gotten injured while they were ransacking and burning our embassy to 
the ground yesterday. You know how it is, when you're in an angry mob 
burning down a building. Everybody's yelling "death to the infidels" and 
waving torches, and its so easy to set the guy next to you on fire by 
accident. Also you might get splinters from the falling timbers, or hurt 
you back stealing the furniture. Probably we've all experienced these 
things when we've gone to our local downtoan LA and torched an embassy or 
two.

Also, I'm sure he is worried that the Afgans, after they issued their 
jihad (holy war) against all American civilians in response for our call 
to extradite mass murderers, and called up "300,000" men to fight us and 
send the "charred bodies of our criminals (soldiers)" back to America, 
might be experiencing some upset feelings or general depression or 
anxiety. And we don't want that, do we?

(Of course, the tens of thousands of Afgans that died under Soviet 
oppression are not extended the same compassionate understanding.)

GA, you've most often been a very rational person, with whom it was 
good to discuss whichever matter, but I truly think you're way out of 
bounds now.

Could you please point out to me what exactly I said that earns me 
this level of hatred?  Could you provide just *one* single quotation 
of anything I've said in the last few days, that justifies this 
lashing out to me?
Given your level of anger, there surely must have been several things 
I've said, and not just one, that made you so extremely mad, so it 
shouldn't take all that much time to find one single quote to support 
your image of me.  Please, humor me for once, even if it was only 
"for old times sake", and find me such a quote.  Oh, and please 
provide it with it's proper context -- which I think is a reasonable 
request.


cheers,
HJ
