Thanks Hunter also for the 'we will keep in touch' that you send me.  That
 warm and fuzzy blanket is so cool and welcome.  Holland where I live and
was born in is now the reluctant but so far obedient handmade of the war
empire the US is setting itself up to be.  The US/Israel have become very
nervous not expecting the Arab Spring at all.  Shows what happens when the
con men believe their con.  They are all over Amsterdam. I live there now.
 My hometown is in the Hague where the International Criminal Court is.  My
name is known in 140 countries for what we sold, and is famous here as our
delivery trucks covered the country daily.  Thanks again. All the best to
you all, Suzanne
