Thanks Etienne
I agreed with you except for your intended unnecessary IMO
personal flaming of Rivca, and of course tho' you didn't _say_
they were fascists but this was fascism-by-association I think.
The way I read it. And an unfounded accusation of impersonation
of a Muslim. But let's leave all that behind.
I think that the strategy of leaving somewhere which is dangerous
(i.e. Omar should leave Belgrade as if the NATO bombs
don't get him Serb Muslim-killers might) is understandable
but resisting this strategy (which may be seen as compliance
with oppressors wish) is also very understandable indeed.
It's not a choice to envy.
Will you join me in this hope? :

And leave Artnet back at peace?
