Magik, I take considerable offense at your flame. First, I'm entitled to my opinion, and as you asked for people to give theirs, I did; you're welcome to disagree, but if you don't like to hear what people think, stop posting.
Second, it's intolerable that you should accuse another poster about being anti-Semitic. I call you on this, and demand a retraction. I lost half my family (which was Jewish) in the Soviet when Hitler's f***** troops overran the Ukraine, and one of my second cousins was carted off to slave labor, you jerk! How DARE you even suggest something like this without being in possession of a single fact. Apparently being anti-Sharon and anti-US' Israeli policy means I'm anti-Semitic. If that's what you think, you don't know the meaning of the word. But hey, who cares, as long as you hurt somebody you disagree with, right?
Well, if that's what you wanted to do, you succeeded. Congratulations. You've won. Enjoy the trophy.

I guess Ill start at the top.
1st I did say you had the right to your opinion and that I disagreed with you. So quit whining about your opinion.
2nd You get no points with me on the comment about Helmut Kole. Since you are twisting the intent of the comment for one thing and for a second My ancestors were in Poland in 1939 so forget trying to play for sympathy from me on that account. The SOVIETS are well known for their lame complaint that they "lost 20 million people" in the "Great Patriotic War" what they keep glossing over is that Hitlers Germany was only responsible for roughly 4 - 5 million of them..Stalin did his own people in to the tune of roughly 15 million.
But none of that is germaine since what I said was Blaming Bush for things the last administration did was AKIN to blaming Helmut Kole for what Hitler did. As in its stupid, ignorant and just plain assinine.
Man Im totaly loosing all the respect I had for you...our discussions with Garnet and in a PM I think, had me thinking you quite a scholar and I was impressed with how well versed you were....
The comment about anti-semitic sentiments were well placed and on target for what I used it for.
So you get no retraction, no apology and no sympathy from me.
Though I will offer some advice...if you are really feeling as much grief as you apparently do for something that happened more than 50 years ago....Id suggest seeking a therapist. Holding anger, and hate and angst for 5 decades is just not healthy.
