Jabou:
Thanks for that observation.  I couldn't agree with you more.  I wish we all 
can
be as reasonable as you are, uphold those values dear to our hearts and 
minds  in the community.  People who will disagree with, but respect the 
opinion of, others are what we need today to help in the rescue effort of 
our nation from the madness that is going on there.  In the absence of such, 
we will always go back to zero even if we are able to replace the current 
regime.

Lang.
