***UC, the Greek partisan resistance on Crete delayed Operation Barbarossa. Do you understand what that delay meant? Did they teach you about what went on in the Balkans during WWII? Did they teach you about October 28, 1940? Do you know what Ioannis Metaxas told Mussolini that day and what meaning that had for the ultimate triumph of the Allies in WWII? Do you know what Churchill had to say about the Greek and the Serbian partisans? Do you know what allies they were to the United States? Or are you just a Mohammedan supporting neo con with no understanding of history or culture beyond the Eastern seabord who thinks its just peachy that America picks up the tab for KLA terrorism against our Christian allies because that man Bush has been advised by his Saudi business partners that Islam is the Religion of Peace and its good for business?***
Unfortunately, many here are think that CNN is the beginning and finish of world news. Even the BBC is awful compared to its glory years in the 50s and 60s. We must educate rather than chastise because these people have not had the information, they have not had the education, they do not understand because everything that they have been taught has short sheeted their world view.
If you do not get CBC and CTV, where is your extra-American view that lends some sort of alternative to the world view? If you do not get ITV or some English language European or even Australian channel, where is the world wide perspective?
I think of it as duty to provide these otherwise goodly folks with the information and the perspective to use it. It is not much different with providing them with the Good News, you know. They are veritable Visigoths, understanding little except destruction, with no regard as to consequences.
American history as taught in schools is dismal at best. It is almost as if it is designed to make students uninterested and therefore not understand or remember any of it. Do not shrink, Kolo. It is our duty.
“...understanding little except destruction, with no regard as to consequences.”
Sadly, that bears repeating.
Yeh we all need to learn more about the Roman Catholic Croatian Ustashi and their operations there in the Balkans under the Nazis and the hundreds of thousands of Serbs that they tortured and slaughtered. Oh but that was done by Catholic Croatians and we have to find fault with those western Protestants, right??? Get over yourself ----
