		<description>Eric, I like your comment about avoiding hornet nests. Reminds me of the &quot;killer bee&quot; concern that hit North America some years ago. If news reports were to be believed, all life would end as the killer bees worked their way northward.

But we still have heavily populated countries south of the U.S. border. Yes, the answer there was to take precautions to avoid areas where killer bees were nesting, then send in the experts to wipe out the nests as much as possible.

Kind of like the strategy against terrorism that we&#039;re employing in Afghanistan these days. We&#039;ll never eliminate the whole lot, but we can knock down the population quite a bit.

Still, as you say, apologies don&#039;t help when the intended recipients turn a deaf ear.</description>

		<description>Wonder where Allan&#039;s sensibilities would lie should be get abducted, held hostage, hooded and tortured for a year or two in retribution. 

Brave words uttered through Twitter are hardly brave at all. 

The only shame is, those apologies seem to fall on deaf ears anyway because it doesn&#039;t serve the insane cause. You will NOT hear the extremists posting and screaming in the streets that an apology was issued. Tyrants need an enemy to misdirect the masses&#039; anger.

How about this... Don&#039;t walk up to the hornet&#039;s nest and beat it with a stick. Avoid it. Cause there is no reasoning with hornets!</description>
