adjusting or "correcting" things i have said here

[republicanchick]

OK, one small mistake i made was when i said that the Muslims have been fighting against the Christians for 1500 years...

i think it is more like 1400

Mohommed died in the year 632, i believe

But i think he was fighting Christians b4 his followers were?

i am going to get more info on this.. but in any case...

what i do know is that they have been fighting Christians since the middle ages... which is why the pope sent Catholics on the Crusades..

then Thomas Jefferson had to deal with them... pirates of Tripoli.. but he did not handle that situation as well as he could have... and maybe if he had.. we wouldn't have such problems today..

There was soemthing else i felt a need to explain, but it flew out of my head...

the reason this country is run by idiots (as some prominent folks have said recently)

is b/c a lot of people don't know history

I myself have 2 confess I wasn't interested in history when I was YOUNGer

but now I see its importance...

human nature doesn't change from one age to another...

what happened back whenever... happens again today...



only the unimportant details are different...


so anyway... again Those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it..

so please learn history, esp US history (b/c we are the best )
