Jill, I imagine you realize you are taking little chip shots at many of us for not "getting it" and for past collective sins. These little insults do add up and after awhile in an atmosphere where I ask people to not respond-in kind to slights, it is like death by a thousand cuts. I personally don't like it -- it seems disrespectful to me. It also signals me that you are pushing a case, i.e. a cause, and that is specifically OT. All I ask is that, contrary to the posting style on some other forums, we post here in an atmosphere of mutual respect with a minimum amount of selling the Brooklyn Bridge.

No, I don't see it that way, nor do I see myself as having a cause. However if you see it that way, then I'll stop posting.

A quote from Glover: "those who report things that people do not want to hear risk being stigmatized as enemy sympathizers. In the Vietnam War, Harrison Salisbury of the NY Times reported accurately from Hanoi that civilian targets were hit. The Pentagon called him "Ho Chi Salisbury of the Hanoi Times." The Washington Post said he was Ho Chi Minh's new weapon."

I'm not reporting anything--most of you are posting the URL's here. But I have a somewhat different perspective from most on this thread. History should be looked at from a broad perspective. I characterized this thread recently as a bit jingoistic but amazingly informative. If "a bit" is too much, I'll lurk & not post--and express my opinions in national publications when I can.
