OK.  I'll bite.  Exactly _where_ did I make an insult or insensitive joke
about other poster's countries?  The "flak jacket" comment?  I was _dead_
serious.  I would not exactly feel safe going to Tel Aviv any more than I
would in going to Baghdad right now.  There was no joke other than an indirect
way of saying it seems a bit dangerous.  There was _definitely_ no insult.  It
is no one's fault over there that the suicide idiots are running amok.

I would hope I am not guilty of "aggressive ranting"...
