I said: >> Still, the future 'crime' you are referring to is >> an _abstract_ crime - and many people will deny that >> it is a 'crime' at all.... At least that's how I >> see it. "Crime" was your term, as in "the crime continues" with a new regime - and the fact that that AIPAC and INC are in cahoots, each for their own ends. And this will appear as an "abstract crime", I meant, compared to the killing, maiming, harassing, and destroying that's going on now. But if this isn't apt, I'll strike it off the record. Anyway, it had nothing to do with your own reasons, feelings, or sense of compassion. I wasn't suggesting that anything about them is _abstract_. Nor was I suggesting that your weren't 'concerned'. Sorry, if this wasn't clear.

It never seemed to me that I gave the impression that I wasn't concerned about the pain being inflicted on the Iraqi civilians right now, and certainly, for many very personal reasons as well as the general sense of compassion for the pain and outrage for the injustice, I have very strong feelings. I don't feel an abstractions regarding the Iraqi situation, not sure where you got that from?
