I don't want to sound like a European who's been through two world wars (I haven't of course, although at times I can feel as if I have), but the people who allowed that to happen would normally be taken out (not to make a mess on the floor) and shot! Is there a legit way to recover from this position, without take overs, juntas, curfews and summary executions? Who needs to do what? -- Regards, Mick
