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. > >Differences of opinions are one thing; agressive ranting is another.
