[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5844963, member: 24302"] Unlike you I've spent most of my 62 years reading. Primarily history. Seems when people take a side on a current issue they often take historical events out of context to justify their position. And as is often the case with war the side they're against gets demonized. For example. I know you'll love this. I spent 3 months in Kyrgyzstan. A month each in their 3 biggest cities. Talked to a lot of people. Really good people who were very pro America, anti Russia. Never once asked for money from me. The majority of these people are pro capitalism. The majority come from a Muslim background. Most don't practice today because the communists put a huge burden on religion for decades. Know what? According to some I'm naive. Those who haven't gone there claim that they're all communists and Muslim fanatics. Can't be told differently, they know better. What do I know, I'm just a tourist. That's the kind of thinking I see flare up on this forum on occasion. [/QUOTE]
