As a Buddhist I believe that within every being there is a call to become
enlightened, to be a light to others, and to encourage liberation.  This is
the way of compassion.

I submit to you that you appear to also have what you refer to as a god
given mission to instruct us on:
 a) arrogance whenever it appears
 b) what the situation in Iraq is "really" about.
 c) B.S.

To borrow a line from Abraham Lincoln: I will leave whatever lessons there
may be in this to the higher angels of our nature.

P.S.   My gut reaction to your note was not so nice but I am trying to write
and speak consistent with the principles of productive communication that I
espouse.
