Laz I gotta give you some props from sources inside my party.
As all know I never divulge PMs to anybody friend or foe, but I can say that I have had repeated compliments about you from more than 3 or 4 liberals.
Off to The Daily Show and then the land of la.

The American Indians claim that is precisely what we are and we claim we are the good guys.

LOL. They thanked you for wiping out entire tribes with that intentional smallpox infestation yet? :-)

The Algerian war is just ONE example, lady. How many do you want?

Sigh. The point is, and always has been, that past atrocities do not make YOUR CURRENT atrocity "right".

The assumed superiority of European culture is Swiss cheese.

There is no such superiority except perhaps in your mind, since you keep referring to it so often.

OBJECTION! PRESUMES FACTS NOT IN EVIDENCE!

LOL! You still think I am an American posting from Ohio? -g-

What are you then? Angolan? :-)

Heh, don't get them started again. I think even the dimmer one got the idea that I was pulling her strings after the tenth time I explained it. No need to confuse her again :-)

I am pointing out that those loudly criticizing us have themselves in the not so distant past done PRECISELY that. And, given time and opportunity, most likely will again.

And have officially apologized for it. Their likelihood of repeating it is as high as that of Germany of repeating a holocaust.

Still, THE ISSUE is what is going on NOW. The fact that similar atrocities have happened around the world BEFORE does not make it OK for YOU to do it.

Would you not agree?
