History - July 2007

I was told by someone very seriously that if they had to choose someone who would most match up with my politics it would probably be Jefferson Davis. As a person from the north, this irritated me. Should I be offended by this comment?

After the catasrophic losses during the first 24 hours of the battle of the Somme,why do you think Field Marshall Haig allowed his generals send their troops into the maelstrom of German machine gun fire for four months?

And again from July 31st to November 6th,1917 at Passchendaele?

Considering that the new tanks did not perform well it seems he changed his tactics very little.

Sending troops marching abreast,at a walking pace across no-mans land,and into the spray of machine gun fire and artillery seems absurd.

I would like to live in the 19th century just so that i could wear all the really cool clothes without looking like a weirdo. Of course if you trace my family history back i would have been a miner or something so probably wouldn't have been all that good. Lets just say i want to live in Charles Dickens world.

When would you like to live?

it's not a matter of condoning slavery, it's just recognisin the hypocritical mercenary ends of Lincoln, and commemorating the tragic dead in a war which tore a country apart, and sent countless young men to their graves. I think it's about the confederate side of the story was told. you don't need to be in favour of slavery to hate Yankee triumphalism.

Do you know why islam proclaims Jerusalem one of *their* holy sites?
Do you know why Sunnis and Shi'a fight each other?
Did you know that at one time Christians and Jews were considered lesser allies to islam and their early rulers?
Are you aware that 'infidel' cannot be applied to a Christian according to the Koran?
How rooted in history are islamic atrocities?

In my article, "The Holy City of Jerusalem and the Ummayyad Caliphate," I address the history of atrocities as well as how the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem became a 'sacred' site.
