...It is also annoying to read a lot of the US media coverage. We are not panicking (Naomi (another daughter) was incensed at the notion) and when we have to take shelter in our little, relatively protected inner corner of the apartment we are not cowering. Our heads are up, metaphorically, if not always literally. We have a lot of patience. Hizbullah and Hamas have to be crushed if we are ever to have peace. It amazes me that people are so afraid to look at what connects those terrorists with 9/11; Bali; Madrid; London; the arrests of those people in Toronto who came from all walks of life and varied backgrounds as the papers were anxious to insist; and Mumbai, just to name a few recent headlines. It's like Voldemort. People think that by not mentioning the name they'll be safer. Oh well...
