So... my question is... did your research actually prove a causal link to the pesticide and the disease?

Or did you use half baked pseudo-science to threaten the company with public media embarrassment forcing them to cave in and pull their products?

Edit: Ah.. just read the whole OP. Yup... half-baked pseudo-science.

Not sure if you're familiar with the Palestinian/Israeli conflict. But a lot of people (including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter) compare Israel's embargo, security wall/checkpoints, and government policies to former Apartheid South Africa. I personally believe that, while there are a lot of bad apples on both sides, the measures Israel takes are necessary for its security. I don't think it's the same as Apartheid.

My questions are: do you have an opinion on this comparison? Do you think the comparison is valid? If so, in what way? If not, why not?
