Gerard,

I dunno what they had in mind (probably nothing).


Totenkopf,

I knew someone would pipe up with the hypocrite angle. That's cool...you're entitled to it. Please don't think I condone the Nazi atrocities; that'd be utterly stupid. I guess my repulsion to do anything related to terrorism is just sheer recency. The horror and senselessness of the Sept. 11th attacks is still fresh in my mind. I witnessed it on TV when it happened. I sort of lived it (as much as a Canadian living in Ottawa could live it) instead of reading about it in a book. I walked past the U.S. Embassy to see the hundreds of wreaths, cards, and posters. I saw and comforted people crying outside the gates of the embassy. I was afraid that it was going to happen again...in Ottawa.

I tried to express my reasoning in my original post, but I guess the sentiment was lost on you.
