"Many thanks for this. Now I have a "reference guide" to answer those who claim that all Middle East terrorism started after the U.S. invasion of Iraq."
I used it as reference guide with a neighbor liberal thug who liked to verbally attack me and President Bush if I walked by his home. He had no response then or since then.
Since then, I just grin at him as I walk past him, and he turns away. He has no answer/rebuttal to this list.
He's just busy preparing his own list - probably starts with the Jews taking over Canaan after being expelled from Egypt, Jews migrating to Babylon, Jews causing the Romans to impose martial law, the Crusades, etc.
Then to round it out, he needs to include the West's history of imperialism, colonialism, and general history of militarism and oppression dating back to Alexander's conquest of Persia, etc.
If he hasn't prepared such a list, perhaps you can help him out. That way, one more self-loathing, US hating hippy can have some comfort when confronting a typically well armed (informationally) FReeper.
