The actual problem is that one side either has no facts to provide or they
have been unwilling to provide facts. They have relied in many cases on wild
assertions clearly disproven by many facts available. I am on record as
absolutely eager to know any additional "facts" but the discussies for their
own reasosn would rather deny actual information that exists in lieu of
retaining their subjective opinions. Example: I sent on lister an atrticle (3
actually) that contained well documented list if the events that have
created the middle east issues. He hasnt responded back. I can only assume he
has no alternative historical evidence. So you tell me who wins that
argument. But this isd the way much of the JMDL discussions have gone. Thats
the record. The record isnt the refusal to accept new information it is the
failure to provide new information. marcel
