More slander here, too, I see. In regard to the substance of your comments, I note: you choose to buy the bill of goods sold to you by media knaves, politicians, and textbooks. In America, and in many other nations, this is your your right. I choose to investigate the facts for myself, and come to an informed conclusion about what you call "war and persecution." Did not someone once say that history is determined more by those who write it than anything else?
