Perhaps I misunderstood the breadth of Robert's claim that "the underlying
point is still basically right." I'll respond to the only point on which I
see any real disagreement between us:

Right, that's what I'm talking about. It would be a grave error in logic, as
well as a falsification of another people's struggle, to assume that all or

for example, necessarily oppose rocket fire into '48. A lot of them don't.
