If it isn't, what are we doing communicating here?<BR>Political polemics, "us-against-them" have their own arenas. Surely this isn't one of them, and I just can't believe that anyone remotely interested in the Camino wishes to see revenge carry destruction to the nth degree. <BR>Can't we please just get back to walking, human step by human step? </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#0080c0>I agree for once with Rosina except for one not-so-subtle portion where she could not resist taking a swipe at "Zionists" as she has also done in the past.
