You are not worth discussing with. You were wrong, I pointed out to you how you were wrong and now you want to argue over the form of the debate. Yoi! Goodbye!

LOL. If you read my first post it was over your form and straw man argument from the start but hey miss characterizing my post seems to be your forte to get away from my point which by the way would most likely strengthen your argument against the other poster but that is lost on you as well. Secondly, I did point this out to you in the first post not to mention your use of the straw man argument, which goes well beyond form and into the realm of substance which hurts your credibility but that also seems lost on you. You obviously don’t know how to handle constructive criticism. Show me where in my fist post in its entirety not to mention my second to re-emphasize even more strongly that supports your two posts to me. You can’t. You didn’t in your first response, and clearly are way out there with your second two line tantrum. The saying people hear only what they want to hear aptly applies to you. You are an irrational and illogical individual and I stand by that charge.

No, I think I’ll stick with my original statement. Russia has been stirring the pot in South Ossetia for a while now and ammassed a couple of battalions of armour along the border for such an opportunity as this...

"You apparently have read one book on the subject and think that is definitive.

If it says that Germany is soley to blame for WWI, not only is it not definitive, it is wrong.

Either that or every other book and trestise on WWI is wrong. You take your pick.

Try reading the Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman or Austria-Hungary and the Origins of the First World War by Sam Williamson."

I've read several books on the subject, including Barbara Tuchman's 1962 "Guns of August," many years ago.

The important point to remember here is that serious new information has come to light since Tuchman wrote in 1962.

Many scholars have worked and contributed to this. Fromkin's book breaks little real new ground -- it mearly summarizes the results from those other historians.

I promise you, if you'll read it carefully, it will open your eyes and change your mind:
