I just read again, Marty's original posting, and I guess we have strayed a bit.

Marty, you were concerned, I believe, about the extreme fundamentalists position's as they related to the "Troubles" in Ireland and between the Jews and the Palestinians. You wondered why there weren't more people who could take a moderate positon on those subjects. Again, I ask, what would that position be? I'm not trying to incite anything, and I'm not inviting flamers, but I'd really like to know what the moderate postion on those two issues would be.

Kendall? Alex? L. H.? Peg? Spaw? Anyone?
