Whether or not you want to consider me insensitive is entirely up to you.  "Look
for evil and you shall find it."

No, of course you can't read my mind.  My question was simply:

Pretty straight forward if you ask me.  I wasn't passing judgement on the people
getting deported, nor the people doing the deporting.  I wanted simple factual
information to clear up some questions in my mind.  As I said in another post,
it didn't seem to me that these people had ties to Lebanon, but I just wanted
to make sure.

You can answer any way you please.  You obviousely chose one way of answering.
And I chose to respond to you answer in a certain manner.  That's the beauty
of free speech.

I suspect the latter.

Listen, I am not trying to trivialize Israel's actions, but your response to
my questions seemd to suggest that I am not allowed to ask a question unless
I say the Politically Correct thing first.  You are not going to find me doing
that.

Oh, and don't worry.  Your actions haven't lessened my sympathy for the people
trapped in "no man's" land.  I don't connect your complaining about me not "properly"
asking a question with what it really going on there.
