Frank,
I hate to keep on brining counter points to you. I do understand that perhaps you have personal experiences you feel strong about. When it involves family, it is emotional and personal to many Americans and non-Americans.
There are seemingly subtle things makes whole lot of differences ie some you picked as examples. I was just concerned that not distinguishing the subtlety could mislead the forum. :)

Thanks Barry for cleaning this up. How a parallel could be drawn between the two situations was incredulous to me.
