Welcome to the real world. In the real world, whoever wins a war writes the history books. In the real world, whoever takes possession of the land and can hold it by force, can define that nation and control those resources. In the real world, whoever is at war blames whoever they are at war with, for all the evils of all time. In the real world, politics, manipulation, and sanctimonious proclamations of victimhood, are all useful ways to legitimize what you are doing to someone else. This is how it goes. Lots of talk about " human rights " gets thrown into the mix. But anyone who is a student of human history, to any extent (even beginning just in the twentieth century) will quickly learn what is going on (Europe, Asia, U.S., Middle East, South America, Africa -- it's everywhere you look -- " the human mind and emotions " ... -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
