Miss Kelley posts a letter from a friend: E-mail from Haifa, Israel / "Our Heads Are Up"
...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...

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
