Carol C you are now re-using arguments from before. You have it in your head that I am a bigot and so feel justified in re-hashing the same old stuff. You conspicuously failed to answer my point on the Salman Rushdie affair, for example. Let me say that it is a strange bigot who has visited India 8 times, worked 6 months with Tibetan refugees and longs to re-visit Turkey as I have and do. As for 'ignorance' you hold the silly liberal shibboleth that only bigotry and ignorance can prevent a person from percieving how perfectly wonderful everything and everyone is, (so long as they aren't white and western of course!) I am a liberal myself, but my extensive travels and contact with real people in other countries means that I'm not quite that wet behind the ears.
