Agreed. But timing and tact require leaders to tread delicately as to what is appropriate to say at what time. Trying to understand why a murderer does what he does is not, in my opinion, appropriate at the time that the murders ARE STILL TAKING PLACE. What is appropriate at that time is other words and other guidance. > > <duh> > ------------------------ Yahoo!
