Listen to the caged bird sing, it's quite interesting, the psychology of how he can seem so darn aloof to the maniacal manipulation of these few men who are responsible for the deaths and displacement of millions of Iraqis. (the article is about his plan for Iran that no one followed and that's why we're in the pickle we're in now, but he still has a plan!) There's some cog missing there I think. Richard,

Are you demanding that I be holier than the pope (or chief rabbi)?
