WendellM Posted July 31, 2000 Share Posted July 31, 2000 "enough of the nationalistic crap. As students of WW2 we really should know better." I realize that you're responding to the recent, jingoistic "'X' are far superior" threads, but I think that your sentiment is right in an even-greater sense. The more I learn, the more I realize that "people are people" - that is to say that universal human nature tends to prevail across centuries and across national boundries. Your mention of WW II history is a great example, and there are others in history (for example, Republican and Imperial Rome). Even with Rome's long history of success, it fell. Anything with a more short-sighted view, suggesting that some local "bump" in *any* nation's history makes it "superior", only bemuses me. People are people, tempus fugit, and all glory is fleeting. "Back to the game" In more ways than one... Wendell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
