Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Allofi, this is a story I've been meaning to tell you for a long time. When my wife was a kid (sometime in the early 70's), her parents went to visit another young couple that lived in the same building and took her along. This other couple had no kids, they were very nice people, everyone knew they were foreigners but no one knew exactly where they were from.
Anyway, at some point my wife repeated something she had heard an adult say (you know how kids are like) about this being a terrible country to live in. The foreign couple was shocked by this and they told her "Don't ever say that. This is a wonderful country. We should know, we're Jews." My wife asked them, "What's a Jew ?" And they told her parents, "This is why we love your country. Where we come from, a child her age would already have been taught to hate Jews."
Too bad she never found out where they were from, but from your post I think we can guess.
