The only way for a true peace to become a reality in the Middle East is for

People that prize peace do not express themselves in terms of "complete
military victory."  And you think I make scarey comments?

I was tempted to reply to James with "this is one of the scariest, most
disturbing posts I've ever read on LUGNET."... but I thought I had better
not! ;)

Maybe because what James said happens to be true-- you need to think about
history to appreciate its wisdom.

Perhaps you could explain this a little more so that the "wisdom" may be
appreciated?

I said *think* about it.  Think of major conflicts and how they were eventually
resolved.


I will go on record as to saying that Richard's post in question was probably
the most disturbing I've ever read in this forum as well.

Perhaps you could explain (as I think nobody else has despite requests) why it
is so disturbing?

Well, it's pretty self-evident IMO.  If you don't realize it right away, I doubt
any amount of explanation would help you understand anyway.

(...) And since this topic/discussion/issue is so convoluted to begin with, *not* clarifying what a person meant will really help the situation. True understanding comes with discourse, thru talking about it, with listening to other people's POV. (...) (23 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
