So you have only an academic interest in The Truth, and The Truth of point x in abstraction from the rest of the world? I can buy that. That is my interest in Eliot's The Waste Land or the account Herodotus gives of the Persian invasion. And since you and I are in the same position in respect to Syria that we are in respect to Herodotus, we might as well take such a disinterested position. That both provides intellectual and emotional enj That both provides intellectual and emotional enjoyment for us but may provide raw material for encyclopedias 50 years from now. Very good.
