Just a little note for those who are interested in the white flag waving part.
 December 10, 1998 was the 50th anniversary of the UN's signing of the
declaration of human rights. I think that it's kind of fitting that the
decision about Pinochet came on that day.

Also, I found this poem last night and I just thought you guys might
understand the connection I made with it.
  
>From "The Day is Done" by Longfellow

"Read from some humbler poet,
   Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
    Or tears from the eyelids start;

Who, through long days of labor,
    And nights devoid of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music,
    Of wonderful melodies.

Such songs have power to quiet
    The restless pulse of care,
And comes like the benediction
    That follows after prayer."

Well, that's my ramble for the day.
