Chinook240,
as you can see, this is a very emotive topic. There are many differing, passionate viewpoints depending upon your own interpretation of the few available facts, and everyone is entitled to hold their viewpoint.
Apologies when, like yours - genuinely offered, go a long way to maintain the dignity that this topic deserves. (I've done it too!)
Respect
