I love reading History. I find it more fascinating than most fiction. Although a registered Independent voter, my political and social views lean to a conservative outlook. Both major political parties are, in my opinion, totally bankrupt in ideals and intent. Both pull too far in their respective direction, and all have sold themselves to the highest bidders. A New England Yankee, I have great admiration for the founders of our nation. The early ones, Washington, Adams Jefferson and others put their lives on the line. Add Madison, Franklin and more. We are most fortunate that our Revolution/Rebellion was organized and led by educated, enlightened men (not to forget Abigail and some other uncelebrated women) who thought far into the future, and it took other men like Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and FDR to maintain the hopes & dreams of millions. France's Revolution started well, but was taken over by lesser men, and fell into the Reign of Terror, and the Guillotine. Russia suffered Lenin & Trotsky. We were luckier! I cannot get through the day without reading the Comics. Regular comics first, then the Political 'toons. Unemployed for 35 months, I finally landed a good position with a good company! However, now I have less time to comment, (a relief to some) and less time to read other comments. Just typing out my gripes & diatribes gives me a feeling of being a little less helpless, and I feel better having said it. Sometimes I goof. I do like reading other comments: occasionally I learn something.
Agree, but Israel seems to be reacting just as HAMAS and Iran hoped. I have read a great deal of 19th & 20th century history, enough to know that other nations give little pushes here, some nudges there, slowly pushing two nations into a collision course. ALL countries do it, but I have little doubt that the Iranian Mullahs are pushing HAMAS and other groups to destroy the Jewish State, or simply, all the Jews. Their own rhetoric backs this assertion up. They are holding the Quoran up with one hand, and waving their scimitar with the other, egging on all “believers” to destroy the Jews and the Great Satan. In 1918, the Serbian “Black Hand” group assasinated an Austrian Noble, and dragged all the European powers into a war of unprecedented death and destruction. That little nitwit, Gavrilo Princip, said he was glad to have plunged Europe into the abyss. How many Princips are walking around the world today?
