Fine. Tell me whether the "celebrations" that you just described are an act of war or a permitted activity by a "neutral".

If it is an act of war, then it must be justified to use military force to stop it. If it is not an act of war, then we better learn to distinguish between "hate" and "crime". They are not the same. "Hate" is a thought. "Celebration" is a form of expressing joy. Thinking and expressing oneself are not crimes.

Sigh. The celebrations were an indication of the hatred on the part of the celebrants and their delight in the death of Americans.

I am not going to discuss serious issues with someone who should be institutionalized.

Goodbye.
