I don't expect you, Brad, & Luke to respond to an attack on your 
person by a mob of the oppressed in the manner that Robert Fisk did, 
if you find yourself in a like situation.  You are entitled to your 
own feelings.  It seems to me, however, that there is no reason you 
should act as if you were cheated just because Fisk didn't respond in 
a way you think he should, e.g., equating an Afghan mob with a mob of 
white supremacists.  What's the beef, really?
