but I'm sorry you did. I don't see what your story has to do with anything.

David Haines sounds like a wonderful man who cared deeply about others. I hate seeing him used by- governments or anyone else.

Don't mean to insult you, I just think Mr. Haines deserves better and I think you're using him to make your point about violence in our culture.
