narwhal,
Thanks, equally sharp, but more tempered and presented in a much better way. So what I am to understand is that I should stay out of all discussion until I'm 40 and have bitter working experience. The original questions I raised about post war Iraq have NOTHING to do with life experience. Questions about the Kurds and the Turks would not have been different if I were someone in the working force. The yacht club was to provide the context in which my friend was inspired. Unless there's something wrong with belonging to a yacht club. I'll stop disagreeing because I'm not 40.
