RESPONSE: My dear Elizabeth, you have put it so eloquently and precisely. It is truly sad that the stance taken by Mario, is one which he has continued, without let or hindrance: either you are with us or against us....that sums it all in a nutshell. His Mentor Bush recently was caught on the mic - same rhetoric. God help us all, having a cowboy in charge of the most powerful nation in the world.!! -- DEV BOREM KORUM. Gabe Menezes.
