“Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.” -- Edmund Burke (British Statesman and Philosopher, 1729-1797).
The 'other' Weekly News Magazine [click to read] is geared up for the 2010 World Cup. THYME is concentrating on a game where the stakes are much higher for all of us.
This week Israeli commandos stopped a flotilla of activists... er, I mean "Artists, Intellectuals and Journalists" [1.] heading from Turkey to Gaza. Some of the people on the boat admitted they were looking forward to 'martyrdom,' but nah, this is just a HUMANITARIAN mission.
While the US media was wrapped up in reporting an umpire's admitted bad call that cost a young pitcher a perfect game, few were discussing the 'bad call' by the world's 'umpires' about Israel's rationally acting in self defense. The MSM, the UN, the POTUS [2.] are all calling the game wrong. In doing so they simultaneously ignore history and step in it at the same time.
The problem is that if history is correct and history repeats itself; it will cost mankind a whole lot more than a 'perfect game.'
