| Yeah MM - I take your point. I am very aware of the US political situation you describe and I closely followed it. On the streets of New York ( my uncle lived in Greenwich village from the forties and I am related to Pauline Glen -Winslow the American best-selling author btw) there were times when I felt very uncomfortable at the presence of the Nation of Islam types preaching their hatred, We had not heard the like of that since the Black Shirts of WW11. I lived through the Malcolm X times of course. I agree re. the difference you point out, and I am interested that you place these guys in that camp particularly. If that camp is to be incorporated into the new problem mass, then that might be an Achilles heel for US at home. I would have hoped Americans would have stood together against the foe.
I remain a cock-eyed optimist, as you can see!
