Thank you very much for this advice Prof. Hayes. This was surely a 
great realisation in your retreat. Sadly, when the jews had their great 
retreat in Ausschwitz they still missed it. What a pity.

The US President you refer to states steadfastly the Iraq war made the 
USA and the world safer. Also recently, for the fifth anniversary of 
9/11 he repeated it. He said this despite a report from his own secret 
service which proves the opposite. The Islamic terrorism is world-wide 
on the advance, and the Iraq war is a central cause for it. Which 
proves another Buddhist truth: that people only read and hear what they 
want to read and hear.

All the best
