What is there to say that hasn’t been said or written? And now I have a question: What if our enemy was, say, Europeans, of the clean-shaven, fair-skinned whites, those that look like us, and who happen to also speak our language, not some "strange, barbaric tongue," would we still have behaved in this barbaric fashion? It is so easy to ’hate the other.’
The Romans held their "games" in the Coliseum; and where do we hold ours?
Do we not remember the German concentration camps?
