Your terrorist is someone elses freedom fighter. Point two - there is no such thing as nation hood - there are only groups of people who lay claim to belonging to a nation and thus 'construct' a nation. What happens when one group decides that they don't want to belong anymore? Chechnya. Check out any number of PJ sites for examples of the glorious Russian army. Point three - you argue by cheap rhetorical gestures - what is a mantra? Define 'leftwing' without using emotive language. Point four - Most pro leica users are PJs who take wonderful photographs, all dealing with the outcomes of places like Chechnya. I never hear you criticise their politics when discussed on-list. From the amount of private emails I got from your last political outing on this list it is clear to me that you offend a large number of list members who merely shut up. Keep politics off this list . If you want to argue join anyone of the political listservs. We have people here who are from diverse poilitical/ideological/religious/economic backgrounds. If you want to take this further, take it offlist. Meanwhile take some photos. I'm sorry for subject others to this. Julian
