I have read this thing from top to bottom. I have read the posts of folks that I care about such as Art. The fact, IMO, is that Ron has the right of it. There are those in the discussion, due to their politics (which, btw, are my politics as well) seek to alibi this man's behaviour. They wash it off to mental illness, or whatever, with no cites to back it up, no facts to bolster their case. Ron, on the other hand, has come back time and again with solid logic. I don't like the Bushies anymore than most of you. In fact I have spent my adult life battling them and folks like them. But that has nothing to do with this case.

Thanks for straightening out my faulty memory, Ron, with regard to the political aspects of this. I see no reason for you to apologize, even if it was with tongue planted firmly in cheek. I believe you have advanced the only correct arguments on this thread.

All the best,

Mick
