It’s astonishing that a public servant would issue a communique like the one below, but it’s even more amazing that some guy whose wife and children are freezing and starving hasn’t yet entered his office and knocked his teeth out.  I think of myself as man of peace, but I have to admit that this would be among some of my first thoughts.
