Alex, great questions, and more importantly, what I would consider the proper attitude. And I also like how you have presented your perspective as a personal one and not pretend to speak for entire populations or all of humankind. I think this is one good way to make progress in a contentious setting (dropping bombs on and imprisoning protestors being another way, although not a very healthy one).
I will just speak to one thing that popped out of your message: "What represents power or something functioning? Lightning?" As a matter of fact, there is just one word in Hindi and Urdu for both "lightning" and "electricity" -- the word is 'bijlee'. Who'da thunk, hunh?! So for Hindi/Urdu speakers (who live in Northern India and much of Pakistan) a lighting flash symbol is likely to work well. Just how did you know, Alex? ;-) - murli On Fri, Feb 29, 2008 at 3:42 PM, Alexander Livingstone < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What represents power or > something functioning? Lightning?
