There have been a wealth of opinions on just what went wrong in the Middle East and why…..I wrote an op-ed trying to explain what I thought went wrong for my friends over at Legationes…
Step back in time and see what actually went so very wrong that eventually lead us to the problems of today……
You may thank me later for the history lesson……
This is a very good presentation for a college-level “History Of Civilization 101” class. Very Academic. Very professional. Very well researched and organized.
Thanx…it was something that I taught my class….something that NO one had any idea of occurring….
Very professorial! I enjoyed my course in Hammarabian Law when I was being denuded of my basal ignorance back at The University Of Washington’s Extension Campus — back in my own version of the dark ages.
Thanx….it is something that we need to remember and study….it was a missed opportunity…..
“History has the relation to truth as theology has to religion…. i.e., none to speak of.” — Lazarus Long
It’s good to know what took place, IF one can trust the authors…. Whom can we trust to tell the truth? The victors write the history books; how much is left out?….
A lot, I think….
gigoid, the dubious
A lot of research later….I think I got it….Zionism won out over right….chuq
Aye, you do get it right, with what is available. But, you don’t write history, you just observe & report it…
In this world, delusion always wins out over reason…. so far, anyway…

I am old so it is possible that I was there….LOL chuq
“Never brag about the fishing to the locals, and never to anyone who knows the fish.” — Mark Twain (or something close to that…)
In short, they can’t fool us old folks who watched it happen… What is currently in modern history books doesn’t always match what I saw…
Probably not what you saw, either….

I really like all the Vietnam books coming out…..most are toilet paper…..chuq
‘You may thank me later for the history lesson’……
Now why does that sound ominous?
