My Mother and brother have been talking lately about family memories. It's
the oddest thing. We can each point to a particular incident in our home when
my bro and I were growing up and his description of the incident, my
description, and Mom's are so dissparate that you would never know we were
remembering
the same event. It makes figuring out who was right and who was wrong and
what could have happened differently and, if it's still relevant, what to do
about it or with it now absolutely impossible. Collective memory is tricky
indeed.

*That's a good point, only maybe we could take some
slightly less fantastic, a little more imaginable
example. Say that a group of Arabs, lead by some
Islamist organization, obtains by various means
control of a county on the US soil. They proceed to
expel the native population and proclaim an Islamic
state. Such proceedings understandably incite the
hostility of a few hundred million Americans against
them. Should the next step be handing this group
nuclear weapons, while in the same time denying the
Americans the right to have them ?
