Searle, I'm sitting here eating a bowl of Coco Crispies in celebration of the POG closing two trading days straight over the $310 mark.
I think it is legitimate for Israeli's to mention the Halocaust, but they should keep in mind that the Russians, Armenians, Chinese (twice), Ukranians, Ugandans, Cambodians, and Ruwandans all experienced similar massacres. There are other countless slaughters that were not near the scale of the Israeli experience, but were still very significant, such as Operation Keelhaul by the Soviets and even the Blackhawk massacre here in Wisconsin that Abraham Lincoln took part in as a Captain in the army many years before he became president--an entire tribe driven into the Mississippi River and shot, clubbed, or drowned.
I remember a night I spent at a hotel/resort in Western Guatemala in a town called San Andreas. The keeper told me that eight years before, in 1983, 800 people disappered from the town overnight in a secretive military sweep.
Maybe the Israelies shouldn't be so quick to do onto others, but on the other hand, when I was in Israel, there were many peace marches. I think the misery has been spread about the globe quite broadly and quite frankly I feel sorry for them all. |
