EDIT: link was wrong see below
I am not impressed.
You’re not impressed with what? The search results that have nothing to do with this thread?
Got my link wrong ought to have been http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/afp/100702/world/argentina_syria_diplomacy about Syria backing Argentina’s claim to the Falklands and Argentina backing Syrian claims to the Golan Heights, I’m not impressed by Kirchner jumping into bed with the Ba’athist (sp?) Assad.
Reminds me of Oscar Wilde’s comment on fox hunting “The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable.”
There’s nothing to commend either position, unless you happen to support it because of your allegiance to the cause.
I’m nearly sure there’s a scientific term for this form of national hysteria/ nuerosis, psychosis on the part of Argentina and its inhabitants. It reminds me of the stories circulated by a certain Aryan people (LOL) about Polish atrocities against Germans and Czechs against the Sudeten Deutsch. In both those instances the people were whipped into a fantasy land that placed them far beyond reason and well into a murderous rage. Is this what has happened in Argentina? If so, they need to get help - and fast.
I noticed similar annoying statements of yours relating to this matter somewhere in another thread lately. Personally I find your impertinent denial of the violent death of several thousands (again: thousands, not ten of thousands) ethnic German civilians in August/September 1939 in Poland most offensive and provoking (maybe that’s what you’re up to in the first place). I’d suggest you hold your fire on that one and get back to the books.
Thanks, flame. I’m open to reading documented proof on this subject. I trust you are also open to reviewing well documented information regarding the Polish “attack” on the German radio station in Gliewicz. Sometimes my language is a bit acerbic, for which I apologize if it offends you. Sometimes just the truth (at least as I see it) seems provocative to readers who don’t “see it that way”.
As I adumbrated in my first post concerning the numbers of victims, we gotta differ between Nazi propaganda respectively staged German actions like the Gleiwitz incident and the truth.
To suggest there were no Polish atrocities against ethnic Germans is as far away from reality as the Polish attack on the Gleiwitz radio station.
OK, flame, thanks. I’m definitely interested in looking into that further.
Well, flame, after beginning to look into Polish-German relations prior to WW2, I am already mired in the quicksand of claims and counterclaims. At the moment it looks like a Gordian knot that will take me a considerable time to sort through, all of which is rather off-topic to the subject at hand. But I will continue to look off-line.
Definitely a most complex - and still sensitive issue - around here, right. I guess the only thing which is safe to say is that no involved party got away with hands completely unsoiled.
Like trying to choose between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee, or between a bastard and a bully with a blindfold on.
