Don't know what to say other than it will take many generations of evolutionary change, the teachings by parents and other adults, to learn I guess. Who is going to start it??

I agree with your entry - I didn't really point out that Ahmadinejad wasn't the most accepting guy either. Calling for the destruction of Israel is definitely not something that goes down well when stated publicly on the political landscape, but from reading the letter one does gain an understanding - at least an insightt - into why so many Arabs are angry with the actions of Israel. I suggest for those who still have not read the letter to give it a read. It's available on Wikisource, <a href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad's_letter_to_George_W._Bush_(8_May_2006)" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Thanks for linking to it in your recent blog entry. Erik: I com­pletely missed your response to my blog entry on Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s letter to George Bush.

I'm no psychiatrist, but that only promotes the hatred. I think it is absolutely wrong to allow children, young people of such an age as depicted in the first three photographs, to engage in such acts of hatred - it only promotes it and these feelings will be very difficult to overcome in their later stages of life. Concerning your response, on your blog: <strong>Edit:</strong> I've made a new entry for the your response. It is <a href="http://klepas.org/2006/07/22/reply-in-response-to-absolutely-repulsive/">here</a>. Cheers. :) I very much dis­agree. I’m no psy­chi­a­trist, but that only pro­motes the hatred. I think it is absolutely wrong to allow chil­dren, young people of such an age as depicted in the first three pho­tographs, to engage in such acts of hatred - it only pro­motes it and these feel­ings will be very dif­fi­cult to over­come in their later stages of life.

Con­cern­ing your response, on your blog:

Edit: I’ve made a new entry for the your response. It is here.

Cheers. :)

For the children involved in this photograph, the writing of these messages may even have some healing effect in what must obviously be a very troubling situation.

Defending yourself is one thing, literally breeding hate is another. I echo your sen­ti­ments, it’s absolutely repul­sive.

Defend­ing your­self is one thing, lit­er­ally breed­ing hate is another.

Against everything you believe in. A whole army is behind you. Which is the more humane solution? Destroying them Destroying yourself Destroying what they believe, in an attempt to harmonise Destroying what you believe, in an attempt to harmonise Ignore everything It's an interesting question. How many alternatives are there to the above? Another interesting question is: "Will wordpress allow me to post HTML," which I'm hoping you'll edit for me if it doesn't, Pascal. A person is wrong. Against every­thing you believe in. A whole army is behind you. Which is the more humane solu­tion?

Destroy­ing them
Destroy­ing your­self
Destroy­ing what they believe, in an attempt to har­monise
Destroy­ing what you believe, in an attempt to har­monise
Ignore every­thing

It’s an inter­est­ing ques­tion. How many alter­na­tives are there to the above? Another inter­est­ing ques­tion is: “Will word­press allow me to post HTML,” which I’m hoping you’ll edit for me if it doesn’t, Pascal.

The moderates have died, long ago, leaving only the fanatics with the bastard courage to commit atrocities on eachother in retaliation for the atrocities committed on them. There is no "peace road map", there will be no end, until the entire area is declared an unownable, uninhabitable wasteland, either by nuclear or chemical methods. That's my uncompromising position. There are too many factions, too many underground resistance movements, too many people that believe in martyrdom. There is too much oil and gas underground and too many holy sites on top to leave the area uncontrolled. There is too much money and arms flowing into the place from outside factions who wish one or another country to succeed. It's a lost cause.
