No, I'm not debating anything with you. Your arguments are preposterous and a waste of time. I refuse to sink to your level. Only a matter of time before you get permanently banned.

Can we have a debate about the influence of Jews on American foreign policy without name calling? There are more muslims living in the US than there are Jews, I believe. And they certainly are a growing constituency. How many universities have "Jewish studies," "Black studies," or "Hispanic studies." But if I were to propose a "white studies" or "Euro studies" I would be called a racist. Absolutely concur.. I remember many times how I felt discriminated against because we had all of these special interest groups seeking to partition the history of this country into convenient racial segments.. But that's not how I perceive how history should be taught, let alone learned. History is history.. and to focus specifically on only one particular aspect of it, generally with a bias, defeats the very rationale that we endeavor to understand it.. Rather, those areas which have been heretofore ommitted should be reassessed for relative overall importance to shaping the trends of our history and included.. But then again... the study of history is also a puzzle that we never quite finish. And that's why I find it so fascinating... Guide the future by the past... Long ago the mold was cast.. Hawk
