    That's very good. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, especially
    those who are at all ideological---whether of the left or the
    right---take a good hard look at all these numbers, and
    understand well two things:

    ONE: Atrocities are not merely confined to one's political
         adversaries or their allies

    TWO: It's still going on, and our voices must be added to
         those who are in advance of us, and who are already
         demanding that it stop.
