These are interesting as I received them from Australia (the first) and U.A.E (the second). Gives an idea of what others think. I'm not responding to them at least no yet. Can't decide on a few things.... Fact is almost everyone I talk to from any country feels along the same lines. It becomes a con...

I am not supporting the current Islamic regime. I am not saying that we should abandon our allies and provide free hot cocoa for the world.
