Thank you very much for your kind words. I appreciate them greatly.
I agree with you completely about not wanting to survive. I sit here
in Cambridge Massachusetts in a place that would be considered heaven
compared to what you experience every day.
Still, I write every day about some of the most horrible things that
human beings are capable of, and even knowing that, without exception,
any human being of any religion or ethnicity is capable of these
atrocities under the right circumstances, circumstances that are quite
common in war. I would not survive for a day as a refugee. As I've
written many times, I look forward to the first Chinese missile that
strikes Cambridge, and I wonder if I should even wait that long.
I won't wish you a long life, but I will wish you whatever outcome for
yourself that you're hoping for. Thanks again for your message.
