Jews and Wasps

I am unable to fathom what is in the mind of the author. He forgets that most wars that were fought prior to the two world wars simply pertained to colonization and affirmation of white supremacy. The emergence of a new threat came from both Germany and Japan that considered themselves racially and culturally superior to the English and close cousins the US. Although US is now considered a country built by immigrants it was the English, Irish, and Scottish that held sway. In fact it is these lot that fought the much talked about war that resulted in declaration of independence borrowed largely from the then recently emerged French Republic.The idea of oppression and even totalitarian control over people is not new to US or UK or for that matter Israel. This has been overtly and covertly practiced for centuries by UK and for decades by the new cousin and friend. The question is how does one view freedom and values. This will not find an answer unless all the people of the world learn to respect others and live amicably without forcing ideas and ideological garbage on others.history will have ample space for people like Mr. Bush and his friend Mr. Blair who disregarded UN and acted together like they did for centuries if we considered the Iraq invasion and occupation. Hatred begets hatred and understanding builds a stronger and stable world and mark you better than one under white rule. The sun has set and there is and can be no British Empire now or hereafter.
