I know there are many topics I don't usually comment on but it's not out of blatant disregard. I make it a habit not to write on topics well-covered by other bloggers. I'm keenly aware others say it so much better than I. And so be it.

That said, today I want to wish the family and friends of Margaret Hassan all my best. And to all the innocents caught up in this debacle, words do not describe how sorry I am.

What a nightmare of empire and arrogance.
