A brief coda to this post. If the opinion polls are anything to go by then Dilma Rousseff will today be elected President of Brazil. Her father was born in the Bulgarian city of Gabrovo. Gabi Ashkenazi is the 19th Chief of Staff of the IDF. His father was also born in Bulgaria, just 90 kilometers south of Gabrovo in the city of Plovdiv.

people think there’s something very odd/unnatural/criminal about what Ashkenazi’s father did.
People seem to think it’s entirely normal/natural, indeed positive, what Dilma’s Dad did.
And indeed the post makes little sense if you don’t read the one to which it is a coda
