"I never condoned violence conected to anti-war demonstrations, but it never frightened me."

How much clearer indeed.

Concern and fright are two different concepts. So, since I find I must clarify every single point now... The anti-war violence concerned me, but did not frighten me. The current events both concern and frighten me; not because of the ideology involved, but because of the rising frequency and disturbing support of it that I see in some quarters. I am concerned and frightened that it will get even uglier, and that someone is going to get killed.

And with that, I bow out of this discussion. I have said what I have to say. I've made my concerns known, and have been taken to task for them. I'm starting to feel a little like Cassandra. Hopefully, unlike her, my prophecy won't prove true.
