And this is a metaphor of … what exactly? We were discussing
something of the nature of nationalist necessities and the use
terror, from the Nazi holocausts through the Stern gang and Freedom
Party and on to today’s Palestinian terror against Israeli state
terror in a world transfixed by the US Neoconservative use of a
global terror war, and all of this prescribed by the practical
logistics of power. It’s an amoral situation Anthony, no matter how
you might feel justified in whatever moral outrage you may feel, when
it comes down to business relations non-profitability is simply not
an option. The universal moral principle that seems to rule our
international relations at the moment is - “By whatever means
necessary”. And would this even surprise you if it was actually the
case?

Please don’t tell me how to read, write and argue on this list. If
you are interested in a discussion then join it but I’d prefer you
not direct me as to how I should properly respond to you.

And why must you prevaricate with the question concerning terror?
We’re surrounded by terror nowadays, it seems very popular on all
fronts.

Cheers,
