    It's good that you've back off. To stop Purchase of those WATCHES can sum up as COMONSENSE. It's good for the position you've taken. No more WAR.

    What was the first reaction of the Bank when the news came out. You are doing a face saving.

    Whether it's a proposal or not it's still wrong when the masses are suffering. AFRC military junta will kill all of you if they are in power today
