Hi, unc -

"it ain't just arabs displaying swastikas"

Ain't it the truth? We've got 'em here, you've got 'em there, they're alive and well in SA, Cairo, Palestine, and who knows where else?

They have jobs, passports, and the right to vote. They are protected citizens of whatever country, including the United States, has the dubious pleasure of their residence.

Given free play, who knows what murderous and hatred-filled agenda they would enact?

It makes you wonder: is there any such thing as "winning" a war?

Perhaps the best that can be achieved is the predominance of moderate and tolerant people, throughout the world. Unfortunately, that moderation and tolerance will always be threatened by the inability of tribal thinkers to countenance any thinking but their own.

Heaven save us from the True Believers...

Regards,

Jim

Sure, I see swastikas in America, accompanied by crowds deriding them. I do not see such defense of civility in Arab countries.
