I get similar responses to comments I make in the Wall Street Journal. People there are well off enough to afford an expensive subscription, but can't be bothered to learn the facts, especially when it conflicts with their preconceived opinions.

Thanks for the link to your Afghan memoir. I look forward to reading it. It'll be a valuable contribution to the history of that place and time. Regards - Jim.

Apropos of your Afghan comments, a few months ago the Department cleared my memoir chapter on Kabul 1988-89. Here's a link, in case it is of interest to you. https://shoeone.blogspot.com/1988/07/chapter-1110-kabul-1988-1989-final2.html
