re: #3 Obdicut
Thanks—That means a lot coming from you, lover of history and fearsome debater that you are.
After I listened to the interview, everything Brewer said kept percolating through my mind, especially the part about fear because it’s such a strong emotion. That, combined with my penchant for historical documentaries & docudramas, made me realize that current tactics may be subtler, but the underlying principles haven’t really changed. In some cases even the tactics haven’t changed (e.g. terrorism, genocide).
