I like the odd OT thread, but this one is driving me crazy. I have just
spent the last 4 months studying just war theory under a Jesuit priest
and a former Permanent Under-Secretary of State in the British Ministry
of Defense. Right now I'm working on the term paper for the class and
for a moments relaxation I turn to my e-mail to read something relaxing
about Leicas and  . . . arrgh!
