James, given that Alejandro said none of those things, and given that 
Alejandro made a very careful statement, and given that you are choosing to 
rephrase his statement so that it is entirely out of line with what he 
actually did say, the real question you should be asking is whether you 
have any interest in constructive dialogue.

Certainly someone who does have such an interest would not choose to 
distort the statements of others, or at least not to such a degree.
