Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that I was surprised, maybe 30 years after the war, that there was some Honduran lady online berating us for having been on the Salvadoran side during the war, as if Honduras was the equivalent of the United States, so if you are not Honduran you are no in the United States, So that was a different twist than what I had ever heard of. And what am I supposed to say about that? It wasn't my war. I am only on summer vacation sitting on the patio listening to the wartime broadcasts, looking at pictures in the newspaper. 

Why all of this outburst from our former classmate's older sister, about the treaty demarcation process, undertaken to forge a treaty between the two countries long after the war: I suppose if you are in office at the time at that is your job, you will have to do whatever you have to do. Well, good luck with that. I cannot imagine what that might involve. I was only visiting this planet.
