    I don't wish anyone to be bombed as you assume.I have never taken anything from Uncle Sam .I have earned all I have and have lived mostly in remote areas.Reagan once said that you're freedom to swing your arm ends at the tip of my nose.Violence just breeds more violence and all evil needs to florish is for good men to do nothing.The wrongs done to both sides in this issue are greatly outweighed by the lives and futures of thier children.It is time to lay down the sword and strive to find a way to co-exist.This is made more difficult when the recognition of one to exist and live in peace is ignored.The past is history and the glory of the future is ours to make as is our demise.The choice of hate is a choice.I am sorry that has been yours.
