Tom, whoever you are, don't be so quick to bandy about tags like 
"Hitlerian." 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.
