Quote:On the other hand, giving somebody a scrap of land just because their ancestors ruled it briefly millenia ago is an asinine idea. I mean, I am descended from no less than two lines from the Emperor Charlemagne. Does this make me entitled to take over most of France, Western Germany, Austria, Northern Italy, a small part of the former Yugoslavia, and even a bit of Basque Country?Its just a political game.. America wanted an ally in that area and Jews were the best suited for this job.
Quote:Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.
