A prime example of the hazards and consequences of an us/them stance. Balkanization sets in when we put being a member of an ethnic group over being member of the overall majority, in this case the Race of Man. To which the good Michael Chase will respond that I aim to homogenize the world. To which I respond, yes, perhaps on the model in which it has existed in the U.S. thus far. Until then, praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. -----Original Message----- From: Stan Spiegel <writeforu2@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: May 3, 2004 11:30 PM To: lit-ideas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [lit-ideas] Why is the UN & EU silent? Here's a note I got from an acquaintance in Israel. Why do you think the UN and EU are silent? - Stan When Israel builds a fence to keep out terrorists, the UN and EU are up in arms because it makes it difficult for terrorists to kill more Jews. When terrorists kill an 8 month pregnant Jewish woman and her 4 little girls, there is absolute silence from your organizations. If you think your indifference goes unnoticed, count the number of messages you will receive world-wide in the next 48 hours on this subject.
