Elhajj,

I sincereley want to accept this so called fig branch but I honestly cannot bring myself to either accept the results of the october non-election or to believe that Yaya and APRC has the capacity to be rehabilitated. As Jabou noted, folk who have sooo many skeletons in the closet can only be cleansed by their creator.

I happen to share christian and islamic values and I also understand that intent and capacity to be rehabilitated are implicit in any acceptance of peace offering or I risk being an accomplice to malevolence.

Thank you for the suggestion. Those who are inclined to accept the detritus must do so. But those to whom principle is paramount must also fight for their beliefs. Please do not interpret this tone otherwise. I applaud your sense of immense forgiveness and I hope your wishes of a rehabilitative Yaya will yield fruit.

Sincerely, Harun al Rashid. Go hither and assist your brother Moses for I have endowed you with sincere eloquence. Thank you God.
