I find it illuminating that you descend to this sort of <i>ad hominem</i> attack instead of responding to the substantive points that I have made. I can only assume that you don't like the fact that I don't share your ridiculous opinions about what is needed now; that I am not prepared to be silent whilst you spout your ill-conceived diatribe that would, if it were followed, result in much more tragedy amongst those who you purport to support.

Ah, so I take it that you're not backing your (from your perspective) fine words by volunteering for front line duty then?

I do not seek your sympathy, ISHMAEL; I have no need of it or wish for it (and I'm baffled as to why you think I should). But I am damned if I am going to stand silent whilst you either twist what others say for your own ends (as you did on GHM
, or spout forth with rantings that demonstrate an incompetence wrt military strategy that exceeds even that of Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, and which would do nothing but make an extremely dangerous situation even worse, and result in needless suffering amongst those of your compatriots who are prepared to put themselves on the firing line.</HTML>
