That particular article just seemed to me to be so far off base in so many ways and so disrespectful to all those people who are not American that have fought with and by the sides of American soldiers against common enemies throughout the years and knowing that my family has paid with lost uncles, brothers and fathers for someone to wipe out their histories is such a distasteful justification of the current American presidency... I guess you could say it hit a nerve... I do know that there is hope for us all as I have witnessed many threads on this list that show balanced and well thought out arguments followed by a reasoned, advisarial debate. However, whilst there are those in the world that are producing and consuming propaganda that seeks to re-write history to justify the "cause of the day", the rest of us have an uphill battle! There was a remark in that article using the phrase facism and attaching it to Muslim extremists and whilst I agree that the extremists are facist in their own way, I felt that this article was also facist. It's just a case of which facist ideology fits the observers view of the world best at the end of the day and both of these facist views IMO are as dangerous as each other. > It's a shame we don't hear from you more often.

I do read most if not all of the posts but actually finding the time to participate fully is another matter :( Paul ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=17 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:185622 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
