You can demonstrate what a sensitive soul you are without insulting people you disagree with. I presume that at some level you are making the following assumption about me, having noticed that my name is Mohamed: Mohamed = Moslem = Hates Jews = Nazi bastard. If that is indeed what you're thinking, consciously or unconsciously, you're pathetic. I am indeed a Moslem, and an Arab, from Egypt -- the country that made peace with Israel. Ethnically, I am a descendant of Gypsies who settled in Egypt centuries ago after escaping the strictures of the caste system in India. I have very strong personal reasons for hating the Nazis -- other than the reasons every person of goodwill has. You have insulted me deeply, without responding in any way to the argument I was making in "refuting" the quote posted by Barbara Amero to the effect that "war is the ultimate male ego trip." I willingly concede that I was making a contrarian argument just because Amero's post got on my nerves, just as the babblings of soi-disant sensitive twits like yourself get on my nerves. But "Hitlerian" is WAY beyond the pale. The only excuse I can imagine for such a slur is that you must be very young and not used to temperate discourse. Please try to control yourself in the future. -- >>Mr. Ragheb, You should give up on this straw man approach. The world does not operate on the basis of ones wishes or desires and simply declaring something as a 'fact' does not make it one. That is where you went wrong to start with. If it is of any solace to you, you are not alone. I do not believe you are thinking through what you are saying. If you or anyone else make supremacist declarations in this world you and anyone else are going to be challenged and those declarations exposed and denounced.
